Newsroom

Newsroom Newsroom was founded by journalists Mark Jennings & Tim Murphy. Quality is worth making room for. We believe Newsroom is worth making room for.

We created Newsroom because we believe New Zealanders deserve trustworthy, high quality independent journalism. We are New Zealand owned and all the revenue that comes from our subscribers and donors goes into covering local news and current affairs. Our journalists break exclusive stories, but we are not in a rush to be first. Newsroom focuses on bringing clarity and depth to issues that really m

atter to New Zealanders. Content comes at consumers from every direction in ever increasing amounts – the world is fighting for your attention. We promise to not to waste your time with clickbait or reckons or superficial analysis. We proudly invite New Zealand to “Make room for Newsroom” – because there has never been a more important time for high quality independent journalism to come to the fore. You can trust Newsroom because of our independence, integrity, and intelligence. The “three I’s” represent our core values.
