Calls for the public to get involved in the consultation on plans to tighten up rules for the media.

Internal Affairs have released a discussion document that proposes regulations similar to the Broadcasting Act for all forms of media including social media and online platforms.

It also includes developing new codes of practice and a new regulator to watch over them.

Internet NZ Chief Executive Vivien Maidaborn told Mike Hosking she's comfortable with the plan but has some questions.

She says it's important to have community discussion and debate; which is what the proposal opens up the space and time for.
