First it was Paul Henry. Now it's Michael Laws. These are cruel times for shock jocks and the people who love them, writes John Drinnan.

Paul Henry's hurried exit from Breakfast opens the door for more upheavals at TVNZ.

Dumped MP Chris Carter told Labour's ruling council he could dish the dirt on senior Labour MPs and if he didn't get his way, "it's war".

At the top level TVNZ is gradually forgetting how to run old-fashioned current affairs, writes Herald media commentator John Drinnan.

Michael Laws has come under fire for calling Governor-General Sir Anand Satyanand a "large, fat man" who has "never left" the buffet table.

A public relations specialist says Paul Henry would be well aware he had made a huge mistake but was yet to show the right amount of remorse.

What hasn't been said about Paul Henry this week? Everywhere I went everyone was talking about his latest outburst.

TVNZ's CEO last night suggested Paul Henry's future was far from certain, despite his earlier stand that Henry's job was not on the line.

Murray McCully has said he will make it clear to the Indian Government that TVNZ is independent and Paul Henry's 'insulting' comments were the actions of an individual.

India has summoned NZ's high commissioner to protest against Paul Henry's 'racist remarks'.

The Independent looks at a vanishing breed - the investigative journalist.

News website The Daily Beast and Newsweek, an icon of the American magazine industry, are thinking about a merger.

In a move set to raise concerns about the newspaper's independence, Fiji Times publisher Dallas Swinstead said editor-in-chief Netani Rika had quit because of perceptions he was anti-government.

Breakfast host Paul Henry has said he "sincerely apologises" for the comments he made about Sir Anand Satyanand, but some are questioning whether the apology went far enough.

A regular contributor has quit Breakfast after host Paul Henry urged the PM to pick a Governor-General who 'looked more like a NZer' than Sir Anand Satyanand.

The real question is about Television New Zealand and its cynical use of racial comments to boost publicity and profits.
