“Newshub will deliver the very best news content, with specialist content teams providing expert analysis and insight to give Kiwis the information they want,” says Group Head of News Mark Jennings.
“Operating 24/7, our focus will be on providing the latest, most up-to-date news, in-depth coverage, breaking alerts and more, providing our audiences across all platforms with stories and information relevant to them, with a strong emphasis on digital, servicing web, mobile devices and social media.”
“We have multiple audiences with a range of interest areas and changing needs – and currently – a variety of ways of consuming news. Newshub will ensure we meet those audience needs, providing a modern, innovative and credible news service for all New Zealanders.”
The transformation will be combined with a significant investment in technology, including graphics, editing and production equipment, to ensure the best possible news product.
