Mark Jennings, former TV3's news chief, gives his perspective on why Newshub struggled so much to be sustainable. Read more on newsroom.co.nz Public Interest Journalism funded by NZ on Air.
Take tvnz for eg, they paid NZD2 million to the last joker running the show citing inline with the corporate world and performance bonuses, but for a public servant to get that? Hahaa! Anyone remember the questions whether judy bailey was worth a mill? Same with these jokers. Prepared to do anything to keep their good wicket. Sell anyone out
Govt funded entities can only really be shut down if you make it your life goal to get into politics with the promise of shuttering them down. You can't just demand they shut down. You can't just stop watching it and hope others stop watching it and expect it to dissapear. They literally get taxpayer money to keep producing their sludge.
Precisely. I'm sick of the propaganda, bias and truth-twisting by New Zealand's MSM. And none of the mainstream sources are any different. If I want the facts I go to online channels.
Agreed, the problem is people don't trust the truth!!!! That you pretend to portray. I haven't had the tv connected to the public service for a decade, the only program i watch is vountry calender at my daughter's BECAUSE, its often really inspirational, showing real people and nature in sincronity, not some garbage, faux dramatic creation, with plastic people in contrived sutuations. No wonder is coming to an end, Warner Bros couldn't care less about anything but maximising the bottom line.
Hopefully we will get an unbiased news team,who will call the country by its correct name and not keep throwing in random Maori sentences which hardly anybody knows what they are talking about and not keep giving us their personal opinions on politics.
Nobody wants to advertise with them, why, it's partially to do with them not adapting to digital and the other part is folks don't want to watch biased news BS anymore, advertisers move away because they don't see it as viable to advertise as a result, buh bye TV3.
You could also have presented the news from a politically neutral standpoint, but basically, we got all of the hate and wokeness from the presenters built in to the stories. "Go woke - Go broke!" Often said, you all ignore it. And now..........................! The writing was on the wall that when your Labour slush-fund kitty was exhausted, your departed viewers would make an impact via advertisers realising that you'd pushed the viewers away. It is entirely YOUR fault that the advertisers aren't spending for an audience that, in the main, disappeared quite some time ago! We can only hope that the now out-of-work woke presenters don't gain traction in the still-viable parts of the industry and infest them into oblivion, too!
Maori TV needs to go also as costs huge money & caters for barely 5% whom can read speak or write Maori yet the other 95% of taxpayers have to foot the bill!
_"Why is Newshub shutting down?"_ Becasue their leadership svxcked, and their strategy of going woske (go broske) failed. Predictably, they landed hard on their bum. Ouch! 😂
All I can say is the fact they did not innovate in the 90s and catch the hudge dot come massice innovation when little guys made trademe from a garage which sold for billions.and now the fact that alot of thier content is satanic perhaps its good they did not innovate.. And how do you think we all feel we have been patient for 30 years
I thought TVNZ were way more biased and suspected ( obviously I was wrong) Newshub would be okay. The week prior to voting was a disgrace from TVNZ , but Newshub were at least giving a more balanced viewpoint. The TVNZ screen time given to the left wing parties was over 80% on the Wed night before voting. Advertisers would have seen this and made decisions which are no doubt still likely to hurt TVNZ. I feel sorry for Newshub people. At least they tried to be "balanced".
Seriously I think the whole NZ TV is rubbish.im sure its owned by Australia isnt it. I dont even bother watching reruns of reruns. Since the smart TV can pick up international TV stations i will browse those instead. Its interesting to see what the rest of the world is watching 😅😅
I fully agree with those saying Newshub dropped the ball and forgot its audience, peddling lies and government propaganda. But I'd add some operational matters - Newshub is grossly bloated and must be a cost accountant's nightmare. How many presenters do they employ? Two main presenters each night to begin with, and then sports and weather. How much do these people earn? Check out Japan and Australia by contrast. In Japan, you're lucky to get more than two presenters and they do everything. The weather is often a graphic on a board and the weather patterns indicated with a hand-held pointer. No fancy tech from the most tech savvy nation on Earth. And in Australia, it is much the same, and the news takes 30 minutes. The other thing with Newshub, there are no honest debates and important social and political issues are never balanced when being reported. If there is more than one side, it is left wing and more left wing, as if they are the only viable options. The audience are told what to think, claims of election interference are called 'untrue' and counter scientific statements are 'false'. However, the people making these categorical statements in the form of Newshub staff are unqualified to make these declaratory statements of 'fact'. So, Newshub dug its own grave. There is no-one sane and unbiased in New Zealand sorry to see it go.
Both have a negative government attitude , woke Maori attitude. Instead of speaking English both were obsessed with pushing Maori. When you focus on 18% of population that is your base. You forgot the other 83%
Why are we paying to keep the maori channel on air when the mainstream media ram maori down our throat. The maori channel should be funded by the ongoing taxpayers' contributions to iwi.
NZ feels like the poorest first world country that keeps trying to play catchup but always late to the party. There's a lack of slick modern engaging content. I wanna see some intense sports/news debate shows that people will be talking about online and interesting fresh personalities. Content that will draw in people online from overseas. We're just so behind since there's no money. This is where we hope some rich billionaires fund some content for us. I feel like there also needs to be a changing of the guard in executives - build an audience following and grow the youtube channels properly. Would be cool to see like a big 3 or 4' free TV news networks in NZ - kinda like ABC/FOX/CBS/NBC. We're just too poor to do any of that and the country itself is just lacking infrastructure everywhere to play catchup.
Easy, use of Maori language! Unfortunately, through Stuff news, Maori Language is still in use! How long before news through Stuff through low ratings will finish?
Bacause it costs way too much money to run, and fewer people are watching it because its woke as hell
Take tvnz for eg, they paid NZD2 million to the last joker running the show citing inline with the corporate world and performance bonuses, but for a public servant to get that? Hahaa!

go woke go broke
How will we live without the single source of truth
What Fake News follows the left wing propaganda 😊
😂😂😂💯
GOD✨️🤔💛
we have the Bible so no problem there
Shut down TVNZ Breakfast show its just woke
Be interesting to see their annual pay packets since the last ceo was on 2 mill pa including bonuses.
Yeah, it's so cringe!

You can't just demand they shut down.
You can't just stop watching it and hope others stop watching it and expect it to dissapear.
They literally get taxpayer money to keep producing their sludge.
Definitely agree!!
It's not that they were slow it's their propaganda we don't want and we have options not a few channels where we are forced to watch
Yea all that and we don’t trust you anymore
And they lie to us and turn the comments off
Their egos are fragile.
Put away in riubbish. Gone!
they lie about their lies and the loss of trust and respect that their lies engender.
to be expected . . .
Well if they didnt have such an obvious agenda and reported without bias theyd still be around, people arent stupid.
No surprise here, TV1 next?
No mate , your out because we dont like or trust you lot .
Your comment is hidden 😂 Muppets

Garbage news service!!

Yup. Woke, WEF agendered shit.
why?
@@Tigolian Because their coverage is government propagandised woke shit. Only those who are still BLUE PILLED swallow their medicine.

Try reporting the actual truth and not your own personal agendas

Far too Maori orientated for the English speaking Comminity.
Well learn maori or GO HOME, migrant!
Maori TV needs to go also as costs huge money & caters for barely 5% whom can read speak or write Maori yet the other 95% of taxpayers have to foot the bill!
No doubt on that one.
@@pauljones3062There aren't even english subtitles to understand or learn from. Very unhelpful.
Its up to you to learn fluent Maori.
Lol why is news hubb shutting down,maybe stop lyingbto the people that pay you would ge a good start

TVNZ old news SOCIAL MEDIA not so old
All self inflicted. Go woke, go broke. Stopped watching their rubbish 4 years ago. As soon as I hear Maori words, it's time to go.
Comments enabled, woohoo! You can blame whatever you like, but once you lose public trust, your toast!
Thank you Mark for your thoughtful analysis.
Buh-bye......Reality Check Radio for the alternative single source of truth.

Something else will rise from the ashes, it always does. Lets hope it remains great journalism and not opinion peices.

No let the Few Maori who pay tax foot the bill for Maori tv or just close it down.
I Dont watch TV anymore since 2019, a little bit of NRL is the only sport I watch, invest in your health, turn off the TV and go to the gym lol
Tell to much kaka, now no job and good job.
Because people are sick of leftist opinions and want news with facts
What a joke!
