The series

● The New New Zealand: Rebuilding Better is a major new series from the NZ Herald and NZME that will examine how Aotearoa can rebuild economically and socially.

● Can we emerge from the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic as a fairer, more prosperous and more sustainable nation?

● The project will focus on a series of themes – starting with the economy before moving on to health, social division, crime, national identity and more.

● The project will include video, polls, podcasts, data analysis, interactive features and stories from across our network of publications and radio stations.

● Coverage will continue into 2023, leading into what shapes to be one of New Zealand’s most pivotal elections.

● Our first NZ Herald poll shows the most pressing issue for Kiwis right now is the cost of living. We’re focusing on the economy as our first theme, with three weeks of content.
