9:06 Mediawatch
New Zealand's oldest national news organisation, the New Zealand Press Association, is now on death row because one of this country's biggest publishers has decided to pull the plug. This week Mediawatch asks them why, talks to publishers large and small about what it means for them and their readers - and what it might mean for the news media as a whole in the future. And Mediawatch also looks at the reporting of Lotto fever, in a week that a record-breaking jackpot was up for grabs.
Produced and presented by Colin Peacock and Jeremy Rose.
