Boucher – who has plans for a staff ownership model – says the acquisition gives the company ‘a chance to do things differently’
A staff ownership model and a charter for editorial independence are among the plans for New Zealand’s largest journalism publisher, after Stuff’s chief executive bought the business from its Australian parent company for a single dollar.
Sinead Boucher, a former journalist and editor with Stuff announced on Monday that she had acquired the business, which had long been subject to takeover speculation, from Nine Entertainment.
