NZ Media and Entertainment consolidating print, digital and radio together in one newsroom
New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME) will be bringing its print, digital and radio news teams together as one integrated, multi-platform operation with the company constructing a purpose-built centre in Auckland.
The integrated newsroom will be led by managing editor Shayne Currie, currently editor of NZ Herald which was named Newspaper of the Year at the PANPA Awards last week.
Asked if any redundancies will be made as a result of the integrated offering, Currie said the company is “currently consulting with our newsroom teams to ensure we create a newsroom with the appropriate skill sets to deliver the best news, sport and entertainment content across all platforms”.
