Part of the Wellington problem may well have been the known background of Terry and then later, Morgan’s involvement. Auckland are certainly in the honeymoon period but we know how quick things can turn.Doloras
Can I ask why the media coverage of this is so overwhelmingly positive, as opposed to the continual drumbeat of press negativity for the Nix throughout its existence? Is it as simple as all the journos live in Auckland? No, that can't be it - Auckland-based journos are known for being miserable sons of beeyotches who drag down anything new or interesting. Can it be that Foley just hires very good PR people?
Even me as a relative newbie to NZ has noticed how much bias there is towards AKL, and it's not just sport. There are no media outlets (bar RNZ) in Wellington and it's reflected in it's coverage. I can't comment on those previous owners as it was well before my time, but seeing how the media operate in this country, I have no doubt that they just added fuel to their fire.
Stuff is based in Wellington.
they have offices in Wellington and Auckland and Christchurch
Sure, but its head office and main newsroom is in Wellington.
I genuinely didn't know that. Every day is a school day! I had thought it was just an office / studio here.
I think it's a legacy of the Dominion Post and the Press being the two biggest newspapers in the old Fairfax media group. They didn't really have major daily Auckland newspapers.
