A sharper, slicker NZ Herald goes live

EditorNews Make a Comment

AUCKLAND, Today: The New Zealand Herald has rolled out a sleek new look, giving its journalism a more modern, intuitive home across mobile, tablet and desktop.

Built around audience insights and new tech, the refreshed nzherald.co.nz is faster, smarter and more visually engaging. The layout is wider and cleaner, with better performance and accessibility — all designed with mobile-first in mind so readers can dive into the news with less fuss.

But this isn’t just a makeover. It’s a move that gives editorial teams more flexibility in how they craft and deliver stories, paving the way for more personalised and regional experiences.

Editor-in-chief Murray Kirkness called it a key moment in the Herald’s digital evolution. “Across NZME we are continually innovating to ensure we offer a world-class experience for our audiences and commercial partners.

“We’ve already seen this innovation in action with the recent introduction of Herald NOW, our live video news platform, which has expanded the way New Zealanders can consume the news, and by bringing our leading podcasts, The Front Page and Media Insider, to life in video format.

“We know there’s still growing demand for our premium content online, with more than 151,000 digital subscriptions across our verticals including Herald Premium, BusinessDesk, Viva Premium and NZ Listener.

“Our focus remains on delivering trusted, quality journalism whilst ensuring we can quickly respond to changing audience needs and future-proof our news platforms for sustainable growth,” says Kirkness.
