And on the other side of the world, two senior reporters for the New Zealand version of 60 Minutes have lost their jobs when their bureau was closed down and they declined to relocate. Amanda Millar and Alison Horwood did not want to move from Wellington to Auckland, so…they didn’t. The other staff members are in relocate-or-redundancy discussions now. (The Herald)
