TVNZ Crisis
First it was Warner Bros. Discovery announcing the closure of New Zealand's TV3 news department; now state owned TVNZ are about to make major cuts to their news section.
Hah, brilliant, these people conspired against the people, now they're about to lose their jobs, well, boohoo, they'll get no sympathy from me.

Stuff For Sale
The New Zealand media company, Stuff is for sale. It's a silly name and an even sillier company. Their main rival, NZME has offered $1 for it. I'll go $10, don't say I'm a skinflint. What do you say eh? C'mon Stuff owners, give me a call.
Why is Stuff going bust I hear you ask. People like to say it's because of technology, the age of television and the internet. While Stuff does have a busy website, they rely heavily on newspapers. Yes, that's part of the story, but their failure has to do with other factors as well; a lack of professionalism, no local news, lack of analysis, and a tendency to fawn and suffocate over who happens to be in power at the time. Stuff has become a sycophantic weasel and no-one trusts them. I don't blame the readers shunning them and these days never buy their newspapers myself.
