WELCOME

Welcome to the website of the Newspaper Publishers' Association of New Zealand (NPA), home of the Newspaper Advertising Bureau (NAB) and New Zealand Press Association (NZPA). Here you'll find everything you need to get the most out of the world's most immediate and powerful medium. Among other things you'll find tools to plan and book newspaper schedules, information on specific newspapers, inspiration for creating great newspaper ads and the latest news from the industry. Enjoy the read.

In October we decided to prove the special connection New Zealanders have with newspapers. So we reached out to the 100,000 Kiwis living in London with a very cool and unique piece of marketing. Check out the video to see how they reacted.

If you'd like to know more about the campaign, or how newspapers could help you connect to New Zealanders, call us now.
