Alice O'Connell: Former Women's Weekly Editor on the sale of well-known Kiwi magazines - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

More volatility for some of our best-known magazines.   

The Listener, Woman's Day, and New Zealand Woman's Weekly are among a range of New Zealand and Aussie titles going up for sale.  

Publisher Are Media —which purchased them five years ago, in the chaos of Covid-19— is now on the market.   

Former New Zealand Women's Weekly Editor Alice O'Connell told Heather du Plessis-Allan a lot of these brands have a strong heritage, and she hopes they will live on.  

She says maybe it won't be in a magazine format, but there are different ways to consume information, and they could live online.
