On The Campaign: What does the PREFU mean for our politicians and the economy?

In the weeks since Warner Bros Discovery and TVNZ announced cutbacks in their newsrooms, much of the focus has been on what this means for journalism in this country.

The moves come amid wider belt-tightening across the television sector, as falling terrestrial TV ratings means companies are now competing against global giants more than ever to hold our attention.

And that means it's not only newsrooms that could soon be fighting for survival.

This episode, Chelsea talks with Kelly Martin, CEO of South Pacific Pictures, about the impacts on the production sector, and with Lauren Whitney, chief executive of the Comedy Trust, about why this could limit opportunities for the comedy sector.

NZ Herald senior crime reporter Anna Leask has been travelling across Australia, witnessing first-hand what groups there have been doing to try and help their troubled youth.

She joins us today on The Front Page to discuss her research and what New Zealand can learn from our closest neighbours.

Reporting costs for the series Breaking 'Bad' were covered by the University of Canterbury’s Robert Bell Travelling Scholarship in Journalism, received by Herald senior reporter Anna Leask in 2023."
