Media Hag

I'm Gen and I'm a TMT lawyer. In 2009, I moved home to Auckland from London where I had lived for 3 years. I blog about media law, publishing, politics, digital strategy, fashion, cricket and my border terrier Brendon McCullum. Any views expressed on Media Hag are mine alone.

The state of digital media in New Zealand

is, frankly, roadkill*. Runway Reporter has been stagnating for months, with nary a peep of any new outfit posted on there since late 2008. Meanwhile Metro’s ailing site has been put out of its misery.

I am firmly of the view (as I have ranted on previous occasions) that the only way for print publications to thrive is to anchor a more vigorous website. Looks like this strategy isn’t working in NZ.

*says the girl who hasn’t updated her tumblr for a month. I am mending my ways.
