160 years of NZ Herald: Birthday messages from Key, Hipkins and more
The Front Page - A podcast by NZ Herald
Today is officially the 160th anniversary of the New Zealand Herald. Listen in to hear a bevy of birthday well-wishers including Chris Hipkins, John Key, Theresa Gattung, comedians Jono and Ben, journalist Patrick Gower, broadcaster and restaurant reviewer Jesse Mulligan, One NZ CEO Jason Paris, and finance columnist Mary Holm. The publication has survived through and witnessed two world wars, earthquakes and more than a few recessions. But it also captured many of our proudest moments: from Kate Sheppard’s quest for suffrage to Sir Edmund Hillary’s conquest of Everest. The Herald has been there through it all, telling our stories and reflecting on the people of Aotearoa. So what comes next for a title that has become part of the cultural fabric? And what tales will be told over the next 160 years? Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald managing editor Murray Kirkness, property editor Anne Gibson and data journalist Julia Gabel join us to offer a glimpse of what was and comes next for what some have called The Royal New Zealand Herald. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. You can read more about this and other stories in the New Zealand Herald, online at nzherald.co.nz, or tune in to news bulletins across the NZME network.
