An emotional goodbye from Newshub - as it closes the final chapter of its 6 pm news bulletin

Staff gathered together to look back on the memories of the news network - and bid their final goodbyes.

The closure - confirmed in April - has resulted in hundreds losing their jobs - and has been widely regarded as a loss for democracy.

Broadcaster Mike McRoberts has concluded the final bulletin with a Maori proverb and a message of thanks to the viewers.
