Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily.
Today on The Spinoff: Why aren’t vulnerable babies being protected from RSV in Aotearoa? Plus: an introduction to some of our 100 new sea friends, and a new episode of Gone My Lunchtime.
But first: 14 crucial questions about Stuff replacing Newshub.
Why did Stuff win out over NZME? How many jobs will this save? What’s in it for Stuff and WBD? What’s happening to Newshub’s archive? Will Stuff staff now have to front stories on the 6pm news? All these and other other questions asked and mostly answered by Duncan Greive.

Right now, we need your support more than ever
The Spinoff recently estimated that the number of full-time journalists in New Zealand may have halved since 2018 Census data was published. As the media landscape continues to change, numbers continue to decrease. The Spinoff is not immune to the drastic advertising slowdown impacting the sector. That’s why we’re immensely grateful to our audience for their support. To those who already support us, thank you. If you don’t and are able, we’d be very grateful if you’d consider becoming a Spinoff member or donating today.
