  • Meta might turn off news in Australia. Here's how one publisher is responding

    Meta might turn off news in Australia. Here's how one publisher is responding
    May 5 2024
    Sam Koslowski has news in his blood – his father was a senior journalist and he's been in the business for 12 years despite not yet hitting 30. He co-founded The Daily Aus with a bold goal – to create a news brand for young Australians which met them where they lived: on Instagram. Now Meta is threatening to turn off news across all its platforms, threatening the viability of his business – a situation which could also happen in Aotearoa. Koslowski joins Duncan Greive on The Fold to talk through the model and mission of The Daily Aus, and how it's responding to a near-existential threat. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Introducing Behind the Story: If you love a dog, you must also love disposing of its sh*t

    Introducing Behind the Story: If you love a dog, you must also love disposing of its sh*t
    May 3 2024
    The Spinoff has just launched a brand new series called Behind the Story, where site editor Madeleine Chapman sits down with a staff writer or contributor to gain more insight about a big story on The Spinoff from the week. We thought you might like to check out the first episode, and if you enjoy it please follow it wherever you get your podcasts! On Friday, Bulletin editor Anna Rawhiti-Connell sent her final newsletter, and took the opportunity to share what she’s learned about the news over two years of curating it for thousands of New Zealanders. Earlier in the week, she’d seen reports of Auckland dog owners discarding their pets’ turds on the ground after Auckland Council removed bins across the city. And so, the column “If you love a dog, you must also love disposing of its shit” was born. Anna joins Madeleine Chapman to talk about the power journalists have when framing a story and how to find the middle ground between boring and sensational.

  • The brief, inglorious reign of Melissa Lee - and how a more powerful minister might change NZ’s media

    The brief, inglorious reign of Melissa Lee - and how a more powerful minister might change NZ’s media
    Apr 28 2024
    After a series of scattered media appearances, and a concerning lack of any real plan to respond to the collapses in news media, Melissa Lee has been ousted in favour of a more senior and more wonkish minister in Paul Goldsmith. The Spinoff’s editor-at-large Toby Manhire joins Duncan Greive on The Fold to talk about the shock firing, and what it might portend for the small but fairly explosive media portfolio.
