Help support the very best local journalism and purchase an NZ Herald Premium digital subscription at a special offer for new members.
It’s been five years since the NZ Herald took the ambitious step of asking readers to pay for access to our best journalism by buying a Herald Premium digital subscription.
Every day we bring you expert reporting and commentary on national, business, sport, and political issues, along with engaging and informative entertainment and lifestyle features, and stories from leading global publishers including the New York Times and the Financial Times.
To mark Premium’s fifth birthday, we’re offering new members a special deal - just 50c a week for the first eight weeks, $3 a week for the next eight weeks, and $6 a week after that.
An annual subscription - always a great option as a gift for those hard to buy for - is available for $99.99 for the first year, then $199.99 the following years.
Five-, six- or seven-day subscribers to the Herald’s print editions, or our regional newspapers, are entitled to full digital access; go to nzherald.co.nz/activate to activate your Premium subscription.
A Premium subscription helps Kiwis make sense of the fast-paced, ever-changing news cycle, from analysis of current events to in-depth investigations and absorbing features, to opinion pieces you won’t find anywhere else - on any device.
As a Premium subscriber, you also have access to gold-standard stories from international publishers such as the New York Times and the Financial Times to broaden your global perspective.

Our annual Business Herald Executive Pay Survey crunched the numbers on how much the country’s most powerful bosses are earning amid a recession - and revealed which CEO is snaring a record $8.42 million a year.
Sign up during our fifth birthday and you’ll go in the draw with our existing Premium subscribers to win an unforgettable Fiji getaway for two. Explore the palm-covered Mamanucas, spectacular Yasawas, the vivid Blue Lagoon and experience traditional kava ceremonies, village feasts, and relaxing beach days on this seven-day cruise. See full details on this and four other competitions here.
Premium: Have your say on the big issues
A Premium subscription also lets you have your say by commenting on selected articles and participating in live Q&As with experts on the hottest topics of the day. Premium subscribers also get access to exclusive newsletters, including our Premium News Briefing, which tells you everything you need to know for the day by the time you’ve made your first coffee, and our weekly Opinion newsletter, which rounds up the mood among our columnists and commenters.
If you need a breather, Premium subscribers can save stories to read later, offline via the app, or get stuck into our daily crosswords and puzzles.
