Teina Pora has asked Mediaworks boss Mark Weldon to reconsider cutting current affairs show 3D, the show he credits with assisting his convictions for rape and murder being quashed.
In a video posted to Twitter by private investigator Tim McKinnel, Pora asks Weldon to "look into his heart"
and reconsider ending the show.
In a statement released last week, Mediaworks head of news Mark Jennings announced the show 3D was under review.
"Long-form current affairs is challenging to make commercially viable all over the world. Given the way media consumption habits are changing, unfortunately continuing 3D may not be possible," the statement said.
"Hi, my name's Teina Pora, I'd just like to ask Mr Mark Weldon to consider his decision in closing 3D," Pora says in the video.
