Future of local media in the spotlight

From Nine To Noon, 11:48 am on 28 April 2020

Media commentator Andrew Holden looks at why publishers like Stuff will get little direct support from the Government compared to broadcasters. Could a deal that forces digital giants to pay for news content be a game-changer for the global media industry - and which country will crack this first? And why is a project to effectively merge TVNZ and RNZ on ice at a time when the sector is at a cross-roads? Andrew Holden is a journalist for more than 30 years including five as Editor of The Press (in Christchurch) and four as Editor-in-Chief of The Age in Melbourne.
