Farewell from Steven on Media
Steven on Media will no longer be actively maintained. Posts will remain available for historical purposes. This is due to full-time work commitments, which take up most of my time now - leaving no time for me to write content for this blog.
Thanks to everyone who supported the blog and its content - it is very much appreciated! Catch ya around some time.
For your media fix, you could check out Throng.co.nz or dannews.co.nz.
So, what’s all this then?
You've stumbled upon the blog of Steven McTainsh, a media enthusiast and web/software developer currently living in Wellington, New Zealand. The blog covers topics from television to film, with sprinkles of personal opinion thrown in.
So stick around and take a look! If you like the site, check out the official page on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter.
