The New Zealand Herald website has a fresh new design that provides a modern home for New Zealand’s best journalism.
Purpose-built with audience insights and emerging technology in mind, the upgraded nzherald.co.nz offers a faster, smarter and more visually immersive experience across mobile, tablet and desktop.
The revamped site features a wider, cleaner layout, enhanced performance and improved accessibility, all designed with a mobile-first focus to ensure Kiwis can discover the stories that matter most with greater ease and impact.
The redesign is more than a facelift. It's a strategic step-change that allows editorial teams to tailor layouts to enhance dynamic storytelling. It also positions the Herald for continued growth, supporting future enhancements in personalisation, regionalisation and variation in multimedia storytelling formats.
Murray Kirkness, NZME editor-in-chief, says the redesign is a milestone in the Herald’s ongoing digital transformation.
"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.
