Oh look, another restructure that 'enhances efficiency' while journalists scramble for their jobs. Stuff's press release spin is getting old.
nah, they don't care. It's all about the bottom line now.
Eight roles out of a 30-person team? That's brutal. But also… what do we expect when newsrooms keep shrinking? Journalism is dying in real time.
What a load of shit. They'll just rehire at half the wage in 6 months.
Honestly, I feel for the staff. Must be awful sitting in a meeting hearing your job might go. Hope they land on their feet.
So they're cutting the people who actually DO the work? But the execs keep their bonuses right? Sound about right.

Hmm. 'Confidential' meeting but somehow leaked to Media Insider. Someone's got an axe to grind. Not saying it's wrong to leak, just sus.
'confidential' meeting. Stuff's PR team is probably writing the next leak themselves.
Great, more cost-cutting. Meanwhile the articles are filled with ads and clickbait. Quality journalism? Nah, we don't do that here.
and then they'll wonder why nobody subscribes. 😒
RIP local news. Once these roles go, you'll just get syndicated NZ Herald stuff. What's the point of Stuff then?
real. Journalists have been dying on this hill for years. Time to accept the internet killed local news.
but the people losing jobs are real. Not everything is some conspiracy.
