A Newshub reporter, a former broadcasting minister and the former head of news and current affairs at TVNZ share their thoughts on how New Zealand’s media industry continues from here, after confirmation of the demise of Newshub operations. We now know TVNZ's Sunday programme is also to go, along with Fair Go and TVNZ's Midday and Tonight news bulletins. The Auditor General has concerns over staff welfare and costs at Scott Base in Antarctica and New Zealander's risky drinking habits. Ko tētahi kairīpoata Newshub, he minita pāpāho o mua me te upoko o mua o ngā rongo kōrero me ngā take o te wā i TVNZ e tohatoha ana i o rātou whakaaro me pēhea te haere tonu o te ahumahi pāpāho Aotearoa, i muri i te whakaūnga kua korehāhā a Newshub. Ināianei e mōhio ana tātou kua whakakorea ngā hōtaka Sunday, Fair Go, me ngā kawerongo Midday, Tonight anō hoki o TVNZ. He āwangawanga tō te Kaitātari Kaute Matua mō te oranga o ngā kaimahi me te pā mai o ngā utu i Scott Base ki Te Kōpakatanga ki te Tonga; ngā tikanga inu waipiro a Aotearoa.
