JMAD Media Ownership Report
JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2014 Published: 2014 December 5 Author: Merja Myllylahti This New Zealand Ownership Report 2014 is the fourth published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD). The report finds that the New Zealand media market has failed to produce new, innovative media outlets, and that all the efforts to establish non-profit outlets have proved unsustainable. The report confirms the general findings of previous reports that New Zealand media space has remained highly commercial. It also confirms the financialisation of media ownership in the form of banks and fund managers. The report also observes that in 2014 convergence between New Zealand mass media and the communications sector generally was in full swing. Companies, such as Spark (former Telecom NZ), started to compete head-to-head with the traditional broadcasters on the online on-demand video and television markets. The American online video subscription service Netflix is entering the NZ market in March 2015. Additionally, the report notes evidence of uncomfortable alliances between citizen media, politicians, PR companies and legacy media. As Nicky Hager’s Dirty Politics book revealed, the National Party and PR practitioners used the Whale Oil blog to drive their own agendas. Also, events related to Maori TV, TVNZ and Scoop raise questions about political interference in media affairs. It is now evident that the boundaries between mainstream media, bloggers, public relations practitioners and politicians are blurring. Key events and trends concerning New Zealand media Financialisation of mass media ownership confirmed Substantial changes in Fairfax, APN and MediaWorks ownership Competition heats up in online television and video markets Turbulence at Maori TV Blurred lines among politicians, bloggers, journalists and PR practitioners The JMAD New Zealand media ownership reports are available here: http://www.aut.ac.nz/study- at-aut/study-areas/communications/media-networks/journalism,-media-and-democracy-research- centre/journalists-and-projects 1 1. -

Public Version Fairfax / Nzme Response to Submissions 29
PUBLIC VERSION FAIRFAX / NZME RESPONSE TO SUBMISSIONS 29 JULY 2016 INTRODUCTION 1. NZME Limited 1 (" NZME ") and Fairfax NZ Limited (" Fairfax ") have had the opportunity to review the public submissions to the Commerce Commission (" Commission ") in response to the Commission's Statement of Preliminary Issues dated 14 June 2016 (" SOPI ") in relation to the Fairfax / NZME application (the " Application ") seeking approval to merge the New Zealand operations of NZME and Fairfax (the "Transaction "). 2. Fairfax and NZME's responses and observations in relation to the submissions and the key points contained in them are set out below. Appendix Two also contains an overview of the recent Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2016 and The Pew Research Center State of the News Media 2016 report that reinforce the acceleration of the trends identified in the Application. SUMMARY 3. The Commission received 49 submissions in total. Once duplicated submissions from a single person / economic entity are removed, there are fewer than 40.2 This is a low number of submissions on a high-profile transaction involving media. 3 4. All the submissions were from competitors, journalists, or academics / public policy lobby groups. That is unusual when measured, for example, against the range of submissions received by the Commission on its last high profile authorisation. 4 It is however not surprising. In traditional competition analysis, if competitors are opposing, it is often an indicator that the merger will be pro-competitive,5 as the merged entity is potentially expected to provide a better offering to customers (in this case, consumers and advertisers). 5. -

The Proposed Fairfax-Nzme Merger
KASIA GINDERS THE PROPOSED FAIRFAX-NZME MERGER AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR DEMOCRACY: WHAT THE MERGER REVEALS ABOUT NEW ZEALAND’S LEGAL COMMITMENT TO PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTIONAL ROLE OF NEWS MEDIA Faculty of Law Victoria University of Wellington 2010 1 Abstract The Commerce Commission is currently reviewing the proposed merger of Fairfax NZ Limited and NZME, which would see nearly 90% of New Zealand’s newspaper market held by a single company. However, it is unclear that the review process is designed to ensure that any changes in media ownership result in the right kind of important public consequences: the preservation of the constitutional role of the media. In this paper I seek to analyse what the merger process reveals about New Zealand’s legal commitment to protecting the public role of journalism. Ultimately, I conclude that there is a failure to promote diversity in the news media and ensure the right kind of consequence – a thriving democracy.

New Zealand Media Ownership 2016
NEW ZEALAND In 2016, the New Zealand media market MEDIA and ownership structures were stirred, and shaken as ownership convergence plans across media and telecom sectors were OWNERSHIP announced. Author: Merja Myllylahti 2016 December 1, 2016 AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy 1 New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2016 This JMAD New Zealand media ownership report observes that New Zealand media institutions are facing major changes in ownership and management, but it is not clear what combinations will eventually emerge. For the first time in six years, New Zealand media companies are exclusively owned by financial institutions. Media moguls and News Corp have sold all their shares in New Zealand media companies. The report also finds that the board structures of New Zealand media corporates favour further consolidation. This is not surprising, as many board directors have other directorships in financial institutions and corporate advisory businesses. In November, the Commerce Commission declined its preliminary merger approval of NZME & Fairfax. Unexpectedly, the commission stated in strong terms that the merger would give the combined company too much editorial and commercial power in print and digital platforms. It concluded that the merger failed the public benefit test, and would not be beneficial for democracy. However, the Commerce Commission makes its final decision about the NZME and Fairfax merger on March 2017. It is still possible that the merger will go ahead. In October, the commission delayed its decision about Sky TV & Vodafone NZ merger as it sought answers to “unresolved issues.” The commission raised concerns about the merged company’s market power in premium content such as live sports, as well as the likely impact on consumer prices. -
