Kiwi News Desk

Kiwi News Desk is an independent national newsroom based in Aotearoa New Zealand. We cover the country with regional depth: national stories told with their local roots intact, and regional stories placed in a wider frame.

Our beats include politics and policy, business, agriculture, property, weather, sport, travel, food and opinion — alongside steady coverage of the regions themselves.

We write in plain language, take time over the details, and try to be useful to readers who don't have all day to keep up.
