NZ Herald says journalism doesn't matter

Today the NZ Herald has said that people don't want news.  That they want entertainment.  I'd like to know who their sources are other than reality TV show commentators. What does Blogger Cameron Slater think?  What does Duncan Garner think?

Stuff.co.nz thinks of viewers as pundits.  They clearly missed the journalism lecture on being citizens and journalism serving a purpose.

Politically were diametrically opposed but NZ needs John Campbell.  Without him all NZ has is one angle, one spin, and no discourse.  

It will be a very sad day if it's canned and I for one will watch because despite being in Australia, TV3 has not geoblocked news content which indicates it is important.
