More about the episode

Glen Kyne returns to The Fold for the first time since May to check in with the two goliaths of New Zealand’s commercial digital news media: Stuff and the NZ Herald. The Herald has launched a new app and more tightly integrated video into its offer; Stuff is trying hyper local and reaping the early benefits of its bold appointment of Matthew Hooton as editor of The Post.

Noteworthy: Duncan is forced to eat a medium portion of humble pie.
