Barrie Saunders: TV layoffs not a threat to democracy

A few weeks ago I joined some contemporaries by abandoning the near sixty year habit of watching nightly TV news. I dropped it because I felt it did not give me real information that I had not acquired from other media sources, including some I pay for – The Economist, the NZ Herald, The Atlantic and The Platform. Free media sources I look at online include Stuff, RNZ, Bassett Brash and Hide, PointOfOrder, Newsroom and the BBC’s Radio Four.
