NetSafe is regularly called on to give advice or comment on technology stories by New Zealand media companies and this is a particularly effective way for us to communicate with a large audience and get our message out there whether the issue is cold calling scammers, planking, cyberbullying or Facebook stalking.
Our primary point of contact for journalists is Martin Cocker, Executive Director of NetSafe. You can also contact other members of NetSafe staff.
If you are interested in staying up to date on NetSafe activities you are welcome to follow us on Facebook (our news feed is reproduced below) or Twitter and we will soon be launching a consumer email newsletter.
