Editorial signature
The country's largest-circulation daily, founded in Auckland in 1863 and now owned by NZME alongside Newstalk ZB, runs the Premium subscription tier built around political-editor Audrey Young and business columnist Liam Dann. The masthead's opinion section is openly heterodox — Heather du Plessis-Allan and Mike Hosking on the right share pages with progressive columnists — and the paper has historically endorsed National more often than Labour at general elections.
