history
The New Zealand Herald was founded in 1863 by William Chisholm Wilson. The first issue appeared on November 13 of the same year. In 1876 the New Zealand Herald merged with The Southern Cross, founded by Alfred Horton in 1843 . Both the Horton and Wilson families were involved in the paper until 1996. That year, Tony O'Reilly and his Independent News & Media bought the Horton family's stake. The current editor of the Herald , the NZME. Publishing Limited is owned, through some corporate links, by the Australian APN News & Media Limited (APN), which in turn is largely owned by Irish Independent News & Media .
On October 3, 2004, a Sunday edition of the newspaper was published for the first time, the Herald on Sunday .
Political orientation
Traditionally, the New Zealand Herald has been positioned center-right in the political spectrum . Because of his conservative views, he was nicknamed " Granny Herald " (roughly: "Old Herald") in the 1990s . However, this has changed recently, so that the New Zealand Herald now represents more left-wing positions such as the British newspapers The Independent or The Observer . Nevertheless, the newspaper cannot be assigned to any political party, as it often has opposing views on the New Zealand center-left government.
Website
The newspaper's website was launched in 1998 under the name Herald Online and today has 1.5 million monthly visitors. It was named one of the top 12 online newspaper websites at the 2007 Webby Awards .
