About this episode
New Zealand’s media industry is facing arguably the biggest shake up in years.
Stuff is closing a newspaper and launching a 6pm bulletin, TVNZ sent execs to on a $30k LA jaunt amidst mass layoffs and a lengthy plan to get back to profitability, and all this while we're readying ourselves for a final goodbye to Newshub.
The Government has finally come to the table with a plan to help the industry – but is it enough?
Today on The Front Page, the Herald’s Media Insider Shayne Currie checks in with us as the media industry continues to go through the motions.
