What is Premium?

Premium is the New Zealand Herald’s digital subscription service, providing exclusive, unique, quality journalism. Premium content applies across politics, news, sport, lifestyle and entertainment. It includes international news from some of the world’s most famous mastheads including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Harvard Business Review, Financial Times, Daily Telegraph (UK) and The Times (UK).

How much is a subscription?

Readers can subscribe for $5 a week — and $2.50 a week for the first eight weeks as a special introductory offer. Digital subscribers can also opt for an annual $199 subscription, saving $61. That’s just 55 cents a day.

How do I subscribe?

For new subscribers, it’s easy to sign up. Simply visit nzherald.co.nz/subscribe

I am a print subscriber, do I have to pay?

Our five, six and seven-day NZ Herald and regional newspaper subscribers gain access to Premium as part of their current subscriptions. Those with weekend or partweek newspaper subscriptions receive a discount.

How do I sign up if I have a print subscription?

To activate your digital account visit nzherald.co.nz/help for detailed instructions. For more help — or to become a print subscriber — contact subscriptions@nzme.co.nz or call 0800 100 888.

How do I find Premium stories online?

While much of our journalism, including breaking and “commodity” news, will remain free on

nzherald.co.nz, you’ll be able to easily recognise a Premium story — it’s tagged with a gold ‘Premium’ label.

And you can check out a range of our Premium content on nzherald.co.nz/premium
