"An independent review of RNZ's editorial processes has found systemic issues at the broadcaster after pro-Russian edits were made to online news stories.
"The review's findings were released this afternoon by the independent panel tasked with investigating the broadcaster's processes and policies.
"The panel found the staff member, who has resigned, "breached editorial standards with inappropriate editing of overseas wire stories, including adding a pro-Russian perspective on the invasion of Ukraine."
"The report added there were also cultural, system, process and teamwork issues at RNZ that had contributed to the incident.
"The panel accepts that the person responsible for the inappropriate editing genuinely believed he was acting appropriately to provide balance and accuracy, and was not motivated by any desire to introduce misinformation, disinformation or propaganda.
"While the inappropriate actions were those of an individual journalist, the wider structure, culture, systems and processes that facilitated what occurred and responded to it are the responsibility of RNZ’s leadership," the report read."
