When it came to celebrating the Herald's 150th birthday, we wanted innovative ideas that showcased this country's remarkable spirit - and the incredible stories of everyday Kiwis.
Whether it was the three-week road trip to uncover New Zealand's Greatest Stories, the 108-page magazine that highlighted the Greatest New Zealanders of the last 150 years; or our big prize giveaways, we were determined to put our readers at the forefront of the celebrations.
Today's edition of the Herald is another milestone as we celebrate the anniversary year - the first paper overseen by a special guest.
As we considered who should be a guest editor, Sir John Kirwan was top of our minds.
