Downsizing your daily paper; if you can't beat them, join them - TV broadcasters adapt to ondemand; more moves to get Te Reo on TV.

Fairfax Media is planning to shrink its daily papers around the country to a tabloid - or ‘compact’ - size next year.  Why? And how will it change what’s on the pages? Mediawatch asks Fairfax Media CEO Sinead Boucher.

You can now get the shows you want from our biggest TV broadcasters without tuning in to them - or even owning a TV set. This week's All Blacks games are available live - and legal - online without a subscription to Sky Sports. What does the rise of TV on-demand mean for broadcast television as we know it?

The three parties now in our government went into the election with different ideas for broadcasting and the media. Mediawatch asks the new minister Clare Curran: what’s the plan now?

An enthusiastic Italian got in touch on Twitter this week with stunning pictures of New Zealand seen from space.  But he wasn’t as far out as many media outlets seemed to think.

New government - new plans for broadcasting; the ascent of a woman sparks 'curse' claims; pictures from space not so far out.

The politicians who negotiated our new government were pursued by a press pack in parliament all through the process. Why did reporters spend draining days following their every move?

Publicly-funded programmes incorporating te reo Māori are now airing on TVNZ, including one that stars a new MP who made his name on the small screen.

Freestyle rap on Morning Report? Power pop on Newstalk ZB? It can be refreshing when old school talk radio airs a bit of cutting edge music. But it can also go wrong . . .

How decision day unfolded in the media - and how the press pack pursued the politicians; more Te Reo in the mix on TV; how hip hop and power pop don't always mix with talk radio.
