He provides a behind-the-scenes look at how media are navigating these industry transformations and adapting.  Plus the HMC team provides a perspective on how businesses must also adjust communication strategies to suit. During the first half of 2024, journalist redundancies were rife in the media industry with most of Newshub being axed by its owners, Warner Brothers Discovery. Plus, TVNZ and Stuff also announced job cuts and shrinking offerings. These are major changes that will transform the current media landscape. As a business leader, learn how these changes affect you. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/crunch-6600780/episodes/nz-media-changes-business-impacts/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/crunch-6600780/nz-media-changes-business-impacts.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
