2The programme investigates the three brand new news agencies aiming to fill the void left by the demise of the national agency NZPA after 131-years. NZPA provided news about New Zealanders for New Zealanders but the new services are competitors, rivals and also owned by media conglomerates, Fairfax media and APN. AAP is the third agency in the mix, all Australian entities.
