Job losses confirmed at TVNZ, Newshub as media industry faces an uncertain future

Newshub is officially closing down.   Despite hopes of a last-minute lifeline, Warner Bros Discovery has confirmed all news operations will shut up shop from July 5th.   It comes as TVNZ also confirms its Midday and Tonight bulletins will end in mid-May, while Fair Go will shift to digital only.   So, with so many jobs going over the next three months, what does the future hold for news in New Zealand – particularly as trust falls to a new low?   Today on The Front Page, Media Insider Shayne Currie joins to give us the latest on an industry fighting for survival.   You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
