title: Shopping in a narrow field: Cross-media news repertories in New Zealand

authors: Hight, Craig

subjects: news repertoires

abstract: This article reports on the New Zealand case study within a larger project investigating cross-media news repertoires within (and across) national audiences. Six key news media repertoires emerged in this case study; heavy news consumers; hybrid browsers; digital browsers; ambivalent networkers; mainstream multiplatformers; and casual and connected). Despite a range of news media outlets available within New Zealand, particularly across digital platforms, participants consistently noted a relatively narrow social, cultural and political discursive field for news content in the country. Within this context, the news repertoires identified within this case study highlighted the high value placed by news consumers on national daily newspapers (print and online), and the continued salience of television and radio news broadcasting for some audience segments. But findings also offered a snapshot of the ways these are being supplemented or replaced, for some audience segments, by digital news outlets (even as these also generated dissatisfaction from many participants).

title: Exporting and firm performance: Market entry, investment and expansion

authors: Fabling, Richard

subjects: Exporting

abstract: This paper examines input and productivity dynamics of manufacturing firms in the period leading to and following export market entry. We examine 3 possible explanations for the observed productivity gap between exporting and non-exporting firms: self-selection of high-performing firms into exporting; post-entry learning effects; and joint export-investment decisions. We consider both initial entry into exporting and subsequent expansion into new destination markets, showing that capital deepening and employment growth are associated with both types of entry. However, the timing of investment differs between the 2 entry events. The observed dynamics are consistent with a model of investment under uncertainty, in which first-time exporters delay investment to gain more information about the success of their export ventures, while experienced exporters pre-commit to capital deepening in advance of additional market expansion

title: Fishing activity in the Waikato and Waipa rivers

authors: Hicks, Brendan J.

subjects: fishing

abstract: The purpose of this research project is to collate information regarding the recent use of fisheries resources in the Waikato River and Waipa River catchment areas. In particular, the project sought to summarise the commercial, customary, and recreational fishing activity in the catchments of the Waikato and Waipa rivers in the spatial context of recently introduced co-governance areas. These fisheries include, but are not exclusive to, the broad range of aquatic life managed under the Fisheries Act 1996. Such information is required to support management which includes a co-management framework. The research describes the commercial, customary and recreational fisheries including species and quantities taken, fishing methods, and seasonal influences.
