List of print media in New Zealand

Last updated

This is a list of print media in New Zealand. New Zealand once had several daily newspapers in each major city, usually a morning paper (which had a wider circulation into rural areas) and an evening paper) As in other countries, the print medium has been damaged by radio, then television and then the internet. The major cities now have only one daily newspaper.

Contents

There are no truly national newspapers, although The New Zealand Herald and to a lesser extent The Post are both available outside their core areas. The four main centres of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin are served by The New Zealand Herald, The Post, The Press , and the Otago Daily Times , respectively. There are also several weekly newspapers with a national scope, including three tabloids, the Sunday News , Sunday Star-Times and the Herald on Sunday. There are also numerous low-budget and free weekly newspapers catering for particular suburbs or for subcultures including the gay and farming communities and various ethnic groups.

The ownership of New Zealand newspapers is dominated by Stuff and NZME, with Stuff having 48.6 per cent of the daily newspaper circulation. [1]
