NZME, owner of legacy media outlets NZ Herald and Newstalk ZB, announced plans to cut 38 jobs as part of a significant reorganisation of its news operations.
The company will focus on publishing fewer, “high-performing stories” and investing more in video content.
Journalists will be grouped into teams led by editors for specific coverage areas like news, business, and politics.
A specialist print team will cater to print-specific audiences.
Changes include merging teams and reducing reporting roles, such as the Wellington news team becoming a single desk and fewer NZ Herald reporters in the gallery.
Staff impacted by the cuts were informed in a webinar led by NZME’s chief content officer.
The move follows a broader trend of challenges for New Zealand’s media industry, including previous closures of community newspapers by NZME and layoffs by other legacy media companies like Stuff.
No one wants to pay for their lies anymore.
Now they’ll have to lie in their spare time.
Good.
NZ Herald, we dont want to hear your propaganda anymore,
“high-performing stories”? Their woke language for mis/dis/mal propaganda. And they wonder why!!
Go woke go broke, as simple as that.
The people, the REAL people and not some airhead with opinion whose opinion is not even their own but what they have been brainwashed with as being ‘news’ and for which TPTB pay their salary (bribes), the REAL people see through propaganda.
You can fool most of the people for some time, and some of the people for most of the time, but you can not fool all the people all of the time.
And now the pendulum swings back.
The lot in their ivory propaganda towers are too self-important and too self-absorbed to see how times are changing.
Tell lies…good byes.
No tears spilled. They were disgusting during COVID.
It heartens me to see the mainstream media pay for their behaviour……crumble to dust and be forgotten…..
Next, the globalist politicians……
