There are a number of staff Stuff would have loved to keep, and had planned around. Hiring so many important staff from the only other major media organisation headquartered in Wellington could be seen as contradicting that intention. A spokesperson for RNZ pointed out that of 51 roles advertised this year, only seven have gone to Stuff journalists. The Stuff staff are uniformly outstanding, amongst the country’s best – but all are Pākehā too. Improving is not optional though, particularly for the only major media brand which is growing in a very subdued local market.
