When Nadia Tolich is invited to describe ThreeNews, the 6pm TV news bulletin Stuff is producing in place of Newshub, one word comes up more than any other: "different".
In one sense, Tolich, managing director of Stuff Digital, is merely stating the obvious. The new bulletin can't look like the old one: it's produced by a different team on a tighter budget, and if it tried to simply replicate the familiar 6pm TV news template, it would fail. But the structure of Stuff and in particular its broad regional reach will have an impact on the kind of news Three viewers will see.
"We have the strength of an enormous news pool," says Tolich. "That is a fantastic asset to have. So [the team] working on this project is actually the entire business."
Stuff itself is also a newspaper business, or at least an example of what newspapers have incorporated - online news organisations delivering and updating news throughout the day, rather than to daily deadlines. Its supply agreement with Three's owner, Warner Bros Discovery, brings back a hard daily deadline.

Ewes know it
'It has been my life's work,\" I announced grandly and quite possibly pompously the other day to Greg, no other audience being available, \"to advocate for the advancement of sheep.\" He pointed out that this was patently untrue. If it was true, he said annoyingly, although quite possibly reasonably, I'd have started my life's work a bit earlier, given that I had taken up this selfless work only seven years ago, the length of time we have been at Lush Places.
