About NZ Herald
NZ Herald is owned by New Zealand Media and Entertainment (NZME), a New Zealand newspaper, radio, and digital media business formed in 2014 from the merger of APN New Zealand, the Radio Network, and GrabOne. As of March 2026, New Zealand-based Canadian billionaire Jim Grenon became NZME's largest shareholder, holding a 19.9% stake.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates NZ Herald on the right side of 'Least Biased' with 'High' factual reporting, noting a slight right-center bias in opinion pieces but a neutral tone in editorials. Ground News, combining Ad Fontes Media and Media Bias/Fact Check, also rates it as 'Center' with 'Very High' factuality. A Curia Market Research poll in April 2023 identified NZ Herald as the most politically balanced media outlet in New Zealand. Historically, the paper, founded in 1863, held a pro-settler, pro-war, and pro-confiscation stance during the New Zealand Wars, often portraying Mฤori negatively. There have also been concerns regarding the Chinese New Zealand Herald, co-owned by NZME, which has been reported to be under the editorial control of China News Service.
