‘Review’ team getting ready to report

When the 1400 competitors and officials arrive in Christchurch to take part in the World Games for the Deaf, TVNZ’s news programme for the deaf will be ready and waiting. The small staff of the weekly programme “News Review” is being boosted by four journalists to cover the events of the three-week games in January.
