Tangible Media has followed in the footsteps of international publications like The Independent by ceasing the print publication of NZ Fishing World and focusing exclusively on the digital media business. We chat to associate publisher and editor Jeff Strang on why he’s betting big on digital.
As broadcasters around the world increasingly focus on the internet to distribute their news and content, as print media invests in additional video and audio assets to enhance its online offerings, and as previously separate mediums seem to become more and more alike, the quest for media convergence means many of these outlets are being forced to cut each other’s lunches and create content that can be used across different platforms. And, despite stellar ratings for its traditional free-to-air news and current affairs shows in recent months, TVNZ is preparing for this new digital frontier with what it says are the biggest changes in 20 years.
