New Zealand's public broadcaster RNZ prepares to cut 10 percent of jobs
New Zealand's public broadcaster RNZ is preparing to cut about 10 percent of its workforce as it adjusts to a reduction in government funding. The move is the latest sign of budget pressure across the country's public broadcasting sector.
Radio New Zealand (RNZ), the country's public broadcaster, has announced it is preparing to cut about 10 percent of its workforce as it adjusts to a reduction in government funding. Management said the move is needed to bring costs in line with its current budget.
The cuts are the latest example of mounting budget pressure across the public broadcasting sector. RNZ said it will lay out a detailed plan for which units and positions will be affected in the coming period.
The development is part of a broader, ongoing debate nationally over how public broadcasting should be funded. Unions and staff representatives have voiced concerns about the potential impact of the cuts on newsroom capacity.
