ON DEMAND: State of the Nation’s Media

This is a past WORD Christchurch event from 2025. To find out about our latest events and upcoming festival please join our mailing list.

I’ve bought On-Demand tickets. How do I watch the videos? Log in to your WORD Christchurch ticketing account on the right side of this page, and you’ll see a box which has your details, your sales history, and a link to your at-home viewing tickets. This link will take you to watch your chosen on-demand sessions.

Our media landscape is changing as quickly as it can to keep up with technology and trends. Where is it heading next? Industry leaders The Spinoff’s Toby Manhire, RNZ’s Chief Executive Paul Thompson, The Press’ Kamala Hayman and former Head of Premium for NZ Herald Miriyana Alexander come together to check in on the industry, and look at where our media’s at right now  and why it still matters for a robust democracy. Chaired by Conan Young.
