  1. Paddy Gower has always had a way with words.
    The last of TV3 Newshub screens tonight at 6.
    Thank you team for the hard graft over the years. TV news will not be the same without you.

  2. @LALegault
    I haven't watched TV MSM news live for a long time but happened to see the TV3 #Newshub 6 o'clock evening news tonight and was honestly dumbfounded by the blatant misinformation.
    No wonder MSM is dying.

    Tbf to TV3, the story was from USA.

    Poor Melissa Lee. Who else could help someone writing a report then our old friend Clippy! Here they are to save the day. But, will Ms Lee utilise their exceptional skills to complete this task... we shall see.

  5. Like a lot of people, #NewsHub's closure has got me thinking about media funding again.

    The Public Interest Journalism Fund was NZ$55m over 3 years. Round it up to 60, and round the population down to 5 million and that's $4 per kiwi per year (20÷5). Less than a coffee or a beer.

    A small price to pay to help keep hundreds of journalists employed, not to mention freed up to work on public interest projects, instead of whatever clickbait brings in advertising for their employers.

  7. Just when I think I've plumbed the depths of David Seymour's cluelessness, he responds to the NewsHub announcement by saying he'll save them by making TVNZ pay a dividend to Treasury again. This is the publicly-owned TV broadcaster that lost NZ$17 million in the first half of last year. Even Winston, who railed against the "mainstream" media through the election campaign, thinks that's dopey.

  9. Could a staff buyout save NewsHub? When Stuff was facing a similar fate at the hands of overseas owners, a member of staff bought it for $1. It's now a much better news service for being journalist-driven, instead of profit-driven. It would be even better if it put social enterprise principles into its constitution to enshrine that.

  11. Sad news about the closure of NZ’s second biggest news operation, #Newshub. What a terrible time for news media. stuff.co.nz/business/350194958

  13. A friend called the closure of #Newshub last year—looks like he was right. In fact, he wasn’t even sure if there still will be a #TV3 come the end of the year.

  15. Who needs local news when you can generate an infinite amount of clickbait and nonsense with LLMs 🙃

    The shutdown of #Newshub is terrible, terrible news for #NewZealand. Staying informed with local and accurate reporting is vital.

  16. Based purely on the #microsoft newsfeed I see when i open my browser at work: It seems like 30% of #Newshub headlines are just what their presenters said e.g "X reveals his enotional reaction to the war in Ukraine"
    Is the actual show like this?

  17. Good to see that #Newshub and #TV3 are doing what the state broadcaster #TVNZ should be doing. Keeping us up to date on #CycloneGabrielle

  18. Do any other #NZTwits wonder how much longer #TVNZ #Newshub #RNZ #NewstalkZB #NZHerald #NZStuff #Spinoff #Newsroom etc and their journalists will have active accounts on @ #Twitter?
    Not to mention which politicians. #RIPTwitter #NZPol #NZMedia

  19. @Tam5 #9to5Mac mention #Apple #NewsHub in the article, but when I talk about #Newshub without the capital H, it’s the bulletin.

  20. #NewsHub.co.nz is the website for the newsroom for the #MediaWorks empire, including #TV3 and a number of commercial radio stations. As well as mediaworks.nz, they serve scripts from 4 third-party domains, including trackers from:
    * adobetm.com
    * googlesyndication.com
    * googletagservices.com
    * taboola.com

    They emit an estimated 1.25g of carbon per page view - low compared to other NZ news and politics sites - despite using dirty energy for hosting:
