Te Papa Press closing ?




Te Papa - the national museum of New Zealand - is considering shutting its printing press for up to five years.

Four jobs could go at the national museum as Te Papa's printing press faces closure.
The press, which in the past financial year produced 12 titles, including the New Zealand Post Book Awards' book of the year, is under the review and could shut for up to five years.
The proposed move is being heavily criticised as short-sighted by a leading Kiwi author.
Te Papa Press is a publishing company that produces books that are sold in the museum, online and in bookstores around the country.
In the past financial year it produced double its annual target of books, with titles including Jill Trevelyan's Peter McLeavey: The Life and Times of a New Zealand Art Dealer which went on to win the coveted book of the year prize.
