EditorNews Make a Comment

AUCKLAND, Today: NZME’s The New Zealand Herald will next week launch digital subscriptions for just $5 a week – an attractive offer that makes accessible the entire digital range of Herald editorial products.

While much of the content on nzherald.co.nz will remain free, $5 digital subscribers will also access a range of premium content across business, politics, news, sport, lifestyle and entertainment including indepth investigations, exclusive reports, columns and analysis.

There will also be more foreign, premium content from a range of internationally renowned mastheads.

People who have five-, six- or seven-day subscriptions to the NZ Herald or one of NZME’s five regional newspapers – the Northern Advocate, Bay of Plenty Times, Rotorua Daily Post, Hawke’s Bay Today and Whanganui Chronicle – will have automatic access to premium content.

Premium content editor Miriyana Alexander said that each day, NZME’s New Zealand newsrooms produced world-class premium content. Recent examples included indepth analysis and insight into our intelligence agencies, gun laws and the government response in the wake of the Christchurch terror attack, and the ongoing Fair Care series, which lifted the lid on injustices in the health system.

“We have plenty more where that came from, and we’re looking forward to keeping our audiences up to date on all the stories that matter,” she said.

More details of the digital subscription plan – including the introductory offer and the specific launch day – will be announced next week.
