Bauer pulls plug on iconic NZ magazines
New Zealand’s media landscape just got a lot smaller with Bauer Media shuting its New Zealand operations.
Chief executive Brendon Hill says publishing in New Zealand is very dependent on advertising revenue and it is highly unlikely demand will ever return to the levels enjoyed before the COVID-19 crisis.
He says so far no buyer has been found for its titles, which include The New Zealand Listener, Kia Ora, North & South, Metro, Home NZ, Your Home & Garden, NZ Woman’s Day, New Zealand Woman’s Weekly, The Australian Women’s Weekly NZ, and Fashion Quarterly.
