On NZPA’s demise
Yesterday it was announced that NZPA would be closing.
That’s bad news for us all as a news audience and as citizens in a democracy.

NZPA axed
NZPA is to close with 42 reporters and support staff losing their jobs. A few weeks ago, there was talk that APN and Fairfax would stop NZPA selling stories to other outlets because they didn’t want their websites losing traffic to the TV and radio websites but I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Too many workers losing their jobs in this country.
