RNZ Cuts Ahead Amid Funding Crunch | Auckland News

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

RNZ is restarting its voluntary redundancy program as part of a broader cost-cutting strategy after facing another round of funding cuts. CEO Paul Thompson confirmed staff reductions last year and warned more savings are needed over the next two fiscal years to keep the broadcaster running. The focus is on transparent communication, supporting employees, and preserving core content while streamlining operations. More changes are coming — all designed to ensure RNZ remains sustainable without compromising its public service mission.
