What Trump’s tariffs could mean for media and the latest on NZME
Manage episode 475653058 series 2581955
Last week, NZME’s board laid out its case against Jim Grenon’s attempt to take control of the board, introducing previously unspoken concerns about editorial influence to the fight. It prompted a new round of reactions and letters and the introduction of a few new players.
Following Donald Trump’s tariff announcement, $6.6 trillion was wiped off the value of US stocks in 48 hours, creating fresh concern about a global economic downturn. While the tariffs don’t yet extend to services, lobbying efforts by tech companies and streamers to stop countries from forcing them to pay levies, invest in local content production, or meet quotas will be boosted by Trump’s war against the “overseas exploitation” of American companies, putting a potential dampener on New Zealand’s freshly minted media reform proposals.
