Show Notes
The Broadcasting Minister says media is a priority for the Government, despite it being absent from the quarterly plan.
It's been a dark day for media, with Newshub's closure confirmed for July and TVNZ axing its Sunday show alongside Fair Go, Midday and Tonight.
Melissa Lee says she's taking a paper to Cabinet she hopes will help the industry, although she won't give a timeline.
ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper wonders if a solution can really be found.
