Newshub: parts of axed New Zealand media outlet to continue in new deal

Newshub owner Warner Bros Discovery strikes deal with Stuff to provide bulletins amid concerns over the country's shrinking media market

New Zealand news outlet Newshub, which is set to shut down due to economic woes, has been thrown a lifeline by local media organisation Stuff that will save its bulletins and website, in new formats.

Last week, Warner Bros Discovery confirmed it would close down its New Zealand newsroom, Newshub, including its website, the morning television show and the 6pm news bulletin, resulting in the loss of roughly 300 jobs and prompting alarm over the state of New Zealand's media industry. The same day, state-owned television network TVNZ announced its own set of programme cuts and job losses.
