Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: The Wellington Airport saga continues, advice to a public servant who just wants to serve the public, and Moana 2 makes history. But first: An open letter from our editor, our CEO and our founder about the future of The Spinoff. As many of you may have already seen onsite and via a special members update this morning, we have published an open letter from The Spinoff’s CEO Amber Easby, editor Madeleine Chapman and founder Duncan Greive outlining the situation we find ourselves in. The letter toplines where we’re at right now as a platform – this paradoxical place where our audience is the strongest it has ever been, outside of events like Covid or elections – but that the stagnant ad market, and a hard drop in public funding for our work, has left us in a position where going public with a big, audacious goal is our last, best shot at retaining the ability to carry on doing what we do. What you can do
