Newshub staff called to ‘important business update’ meeting

Staff of the soon-to-close newsroom at Newshub have been called to a meeting on Tuesday, Newshub says.

In its reporting, Newshub said it was described as an “important business update”.

Newshub said staff members were sent an email on Monday evening about the meeting.

It would be held in the newsroom and the announcement made by Warner Brothers Discovery ANZ (WBD) head of networks Glen Kyne.

Newshub said reports had emerged that its owner may consider outsourcing production of its 6pm news bulletin for Three and ThreeNow.

Newshub said it had requested comment from WBD.

Rupert Murdoch’s TV execs were in Auckland secretly meeting with Melissa Lee last week and the rumour circulating is that Sky News wants to buy Newshub to implement a hard right Fox News style/Australian Sky TV styled 6pm news.

Imagine ZB crossed with Australian level racism that endlessly promotes Trans National Mining interests.

Allowing Rupert Murdoch into NZ to ‘save’ journalism is like getting a child molesting alcoholic priest to run the kindergarten and pub.

Melissa Lee won’t allow Newshub to be sold to Rupert Murdoch to make Fox News NZ right?

Right?
