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.
