MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN NEW ZEALAND
With a publishing tradition dating back to 1839, the national print media reflects a highly localized industry dominated by two major ownership groups. The country's largest circulation daily is The New Zealand Herald, a conservative-leaning Auckland publication owned by NZME. In Wellington, Stuff publishes The Post, while also serving the South Island with the Christchurch-based daily The Press. Dunedin is home to the Otago Daily Times, notable as the nation's longest-running independent daily newspaper, founded in 1861. Beyond these metropolitan titles, numerous provincial publications serve rural areas alongside Maori and Pacific Island language editions.
