What the picker changes
  • Top topics digest — the cards score the selected period against the prior 4 weeks.
  • 12-week heatmap & outlet matrix — show the 12 weeks ending at the selected week (they slide back with the picker, they aren’t a fixed snapshot).
  • Per-topic volume / alias drift — same 12-week trailing window, anchored on the selected period.
  • Coverage gap quadrant — scores the selected period against the 12 weeks before it (not including it).
  • Anomaly cards — only show alerts the detector fired during the selected period. Quiet weeks legitimately show none.
What stays as-is
  • Outlet orientation strip / lean colours — context-only, drawn from the last 12 weeks of activity regardless.
  • Co-occurrence graph — recent-activity anchored, not picker-driven.
  • Source & topic profiles — all-time data for the topic; the picker doesn’t affect them.
Rolling 7 days is a sliding live window for “current vibes”; switch to Weekly to compare specific weeks side-by-side.

  • It wasn't like she was hounding him out of his job. That was dumb. That was poor judgment. But that wasn't, I've seen worse. I've seen far worse. And I think Miles would have just brushed that one off and got on the plane and thought that was dumb. 425. Now, it's all happening today, as often is the case on a Friday afternoon. Rod Drury has now also announced that he's giving back his Kiwi Bank New Zealander of the Year award. He says, I've informed the New Zealander of the Year Awards office that I'm returning my award. ward while I completely reject the allegations about me I do not want the current situation to undermine the integrity of the awards or place further pressure on a great organisation before the relevant investigations and proper processes have been completed the awards office should not be put in the position of having to deal with matters that do not involve them while those processes are underway we're going to have a chat to the first woman actually who made the allegations against him Ali Naylor who'll be with us after five o'clock just really quickly while we're still kind of And if on the subject of sport, on the appointment of Steve Lancaster to the job of the boss of NZR yesterday, Gregor Paul has written a piece for the Herald on this and it is brutal. He says for the third successive time NZR has appointed a chief executive whose rugby grounding belief systems and worldview of the world is forged at the Crusaders. And for the third successive time NZR has appointed a chief executive with no experience managing large complex organisations or someone who has operated much outside of sports administration. He says what we already knew, which was they didn't actually want Steve Lancaster, they wanted Tom Harrison, who runs Six Nations. But apparently Tom Harrison didn't like the expectation that he would have to show his face in club rooms around New Zealand and be a visible presence around the grassroots game because he wanted to live in Australia and only fly in and fly out of New Zealand. He wanted also, as for pay, he wanted one and a half million dollars and they were only offering about 1.1 max. then they started when Tom turned them down they started looking thinking rethinking their options they started looking at bosses of corporates who maybe wanted to get out of the corporate world maybe wanted a bit of a different change the names that kept coming up says Greg or Paul were former Air New Zealand CEO Greg Foran former Fonterra CEO Myles Hurrell current one New Zealand CEO Jason Paris and current zero CEO Sikinda Singh Cassidy apart from Sikinda I'd heard all those names as well none of that obviously happened they appointed Steve who was the guy who was filling into the job Rob, which I feel kind of sorry for him because he should be celebrating this weekend not going, oh, everybody knows I'm the plan B guy. Anyway, we'll talk to the sports huddle in there with us after half past five. News is next.
