TVNZ is set to launch an independent review of its news content to check for balance and bias.

This follows Media Minister Paul Goldsmith expressing interest in seeing trust in media improve - particularly for the state broadcasters.

NZME Editor-at-Large Shayne Currie says viewers have taken issue with the 'editorialising' of the news.

"The reporter comes in at the end and gives an opinion or analysis that the viewer might take issue with. The feedback that we get a lot of is - just report the news."
