Nine Entertainment's chief executive, Matt Stanton, is confident that Australia's revamped media bargaining laws will open up a 'world of growth in publishing,' even as the network slashes costs.

Nine is targeting one hundred sixty million dollars in cost cuts, but Stanton says the company has a 'good pipeline' of AI deals ahead.
