In 2005 NZPA announced that the 125-year-old news-sharing model would cease in January 2006, leaving NZPA responsible for news gathering and production of the national wire. NZPA's own journalists also contributed to the national news wire, which by 2005 consisted of approximately 50 per cent each of copy contributed by the member newspapers and the other half by NZPA's own staff. Sub-editing was done at NZPA's Wellington headquarters and the copy then redistributed to all members. Until January 2006, member newspapers were obliged by contract to supply their home town news copy to NZPA. NZPA was superseded by three new services, all Australian-owned: APNZ (on-going), Fairfax New Zealand News (on-going as Stuff), and NZ Newswire (folded in April 2018).ĭaily and Sunday newspapers owned by APN News & Media, Fairfax New Zealand, Allied Press, Ashburton Guardian, The Gisborne Herald, The Wairoa Star Ltd, Whakatane Beacon and the Westport News were members of NZPA. Following Fairfax New Zealand's withdrawal from NZPA in April 2011, NZPA told staff that it would be wound up over the next four to six months, and ceased operation on 31 August 2011. The largest news agency in the country, it was founded as the United Press Association in 1879, and became the New Zealand Press Association in 1942. The New Zealand Press Association ( NZPA) was a news agency that existed from 1879 to 2011 and provided national and international news to the media of New Zealand.
