The eight JMAD New Zealand media ownership report, which I authored, published by AUT research center for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD) was launched on December 6, 2018.

The report also finds that some of the New Zealand’s independent media companies are under severe financial pressure, and low valuation of the leading commercial media companies have made them potential takeover targets.
