ABOUT US


The NPA

The Newspaper Publishers' Association of New Zealand (NPA) is the trade association of the New Zealand newspaper industry. All paid daily and Sunday newspapers are members of the Association.

The NPA advises members and co-ordinates their interests in areas such as Government affairs, advertising standards and self-regulation, industry training and sponsorship.

The Association liaises with a wide variety of other organisations and institutions which impact upon the newspaper industry. The NPA also represents the industry generally to the public.

NPA is the umbrella organisation for commonly owned newspaper industry service providers (including NAB, NZPA, NZPA Content Services and the PMCA).

 

NAB

The Newspaper Advertising Bureau (NAB) is the sales and marketing arm of the newspaper industry in New Zealand.

The NAB represents 25 daily newspapers consisting of four metropolitan, nineteen regional and two paid circulation non dailies, the three Sunday newspapers and the weekly business newspaper The Independent Financial Review.

The NAB's main purpose is to act as a link between advertising agencies, advertisers and our member newspapers helping to plan and implement newspaper campaigns. The NAB undertakes this via a range of industry initiatives, strategic services and package buys.

The NAB are Auckland based, and made up of a team of sales, marketing and research specialists upon whose expertise agencies and advertisers can draw to book a basic advertising campaign or plan something far more intricate.

Because the NAB is funded by its newspaper members these services are free.
