TV New Zealand (TVNZ) has concluded a deal with Fairfax Media allowing readers of Stuff to be able to view ONE News video.
The collaboration is part of a strategy to meet the growing demand for news video, and will provide the latest ONE News content via the Stuff website and apps.
Kevin Kenrick, TVNZ CEO, said domestic online players need to collaborate to compete effectively with global scale players, and this opportunity is all about matching ONE News’ strength in video journalism with Stuff’s strength in online reach.
“We're committed to making the news stories that matter most to New Zealanders accessible to as many viewers as possible,” said Kenrick. “ONE News is the market leading TV news and ONE News Now has achieved massive growth in online news video streams since it was launched last year. The partnership with Fairfax is an exciting next step to extend the reach of ONE News stories and make them immediately available where audiences want to view them.”
Simon Tong, Fairfax Media NZ managing director, said this is a significant step for Stuff, and demonstrates Stuff’s capability as a home for content from other publishers and partners, as well as Fairfax’s own.
