  • The NZ Herald's streaming video service will be part of a restructuring that included the loss of 30 journalists' jobs, but it's not clear whether it will pay off, Mediawatch reports.

NZME, a prominent media company in New Zealand, is launching a new video channel named 'Today', which will feature a mix of news, entertainment, and lifestyle content.
