  1. One has to wonder whether Radio New Zealand #RNZ is behaving like the #NZPol Act Party’s PR department due to David Seymour being in a ministerial position where he can increase or cut RNZ’s funding, he’s made threats to cut RNZ’s funding in the past, or whether it is due to #Aotearoa #NewZealand state funded radio station being overtaken by ex #MediaWorks neoliberals. Perhaps it’s a bit of both. 🥲

  2. CW: Aussies buy Mediaworks

    Once upon a time, this would've been big news in NZ. Australian media company Sports Entertainment Group has bought what's left of Mediaworks for a mere $130 million.

    On the bright side, at least Murdoch didn't get it.

  3. From #CheckPoint Research:

    Mediaworks Data Extortion Attack

    Hungarian media company #Mediaworks, which operates dozens of newspapers and online outlets, was hit by a data-theft extortion attack. The company confirmed an intrusion after World Leaks posted 8.5TB of internal files online, reportedly including payroll records, contracts, financial documents, and internal communications.

  4. Bomber's digital rag has become so enshittified, I can't even link to episodes of the Bradbury Group podcast directly. The best I can give you now is a direct link to an edition on the MediaWorks account on MegaPhone (owned by Spitify), like the latest edition here;

  5. "I disagree with the idea of a treaty."

    Oops! Yet another over-excited propertarian saying the quiet part out loud. This is perhaps the most honest statement I've ever heard from an ACT supporter talking about Te Tiriti o Waitangi ; )

  6. I know the 1st rule of radio is "don't shut down your station in mid-sentence", but surely another is, "Don't push listeners into the hands of scammers"... 🤦

  7. As if they don't have enough problems, MediaWorks is investigating the possible hacking of data belonging to 2.461 million NZ citizens. That's half the country!

    The data being sold on the dark web came from website competition entries. The hacker boasts that he has names, home addresses, mobile numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, home phone numbers, user postal codes, user genders and user IDs for almost two and a half million kiwis.

  8. I didn’t expect #DuncanGarner to be back on social media after the nastiness on #TheBirdSite. He quit 7 years ago because of it. I’m enjoying his podcast, #DuncanGarner #EditorInChief. I posted about #Mastodon on one of his #Facebook #Posts, because he is a journalist that built me up when he was on #TodayFM and #TheAMShow, because he is fighting for New Zealanders and big issues. Now I hope he #JoinMastodon, however, the accounts on the other platforms must’ve been created by #MediaWorks #Team.

  9. So far, I’m enjoying #DuncanGarner: #EditorInChief on #Rova, but the podcast isn’t showing up in #Castro. Is it on other platforms such as #OverCast? Today they have launched their brand-new segment, #Yourdio, which I am going to use extensively. He quit social media seven years ago, however #MediaWorks didn’t set up the show on #Mastodon. Search for Duncan Garner: Editor In Chief.

  10. US-owned #Mediaworks sent me some weird survey email but I’ve never signed up to anything that they own. According to the preferences, a publication I can download from them is ‘EDG—Netsky Morrinsville’. I’ve never heard of this, or of Netsky, and I’ve never been to Morrinsville.
    Just wrote a very polite email to their privacy officer to ask for my details to be removed. It all sounds very fishy.

  11. Mediaworks Chief Executive Cam Wallace admits he's proudly team Luxon. He's just one of the reasons why Mediaworks is all but unwatchable these days.
