[Imc-aotearoa-ed] WSU /Nexus feature

[clare h]

hiya everyone

1. re: weird radio title

finn has re-posted a comment regarding the title to a place where people can 
see it.  so people reading the  comment will know that some people are not 
happy with it. 
i think that is the most transparent way to deal with it.

the author of the title in question is not saying they are a representative 
of radio tainui, so i don't see it as a problem. (yes weird, but maybe there 
is significance we don't know about?)

2. re: video and the door

i don't think we need to change the feature , or the link . the link says 
people were 'threatened with violence', and goes to an article about how the 
wsu member told someone they were going to 'break' them. yes it mentions 
video and a door too, but not exclusiveley. 
besides, there is dialogue elsewhere in the newswire between nexus people and 
wsu regarding the video and door. (and other stuff). so it is talked about 
already.

if the wsu exec in question wants to make a statement, i would encourage him 
to do so. we can put a link to it.
if they have made a statement already send the url
