Who owns NZ media?

AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy Research has just released their 2016 New Zealand media ownership report. The findings are unsurprisingly a little dire, with ownership by financial institutes on the rise and the prospect of two major mergers on the cards. Ximena speaks to the co-director of the research centre, Dr Wayne Hope, about the significance of the findings from this years report and about what they might mean for the health of New Zealand’s media landscape.
