New Zealand news, front pages compared

Crosswire lays New Zealand's front pages next to one another so you can see which stories lead where, how headlines are framed, and what one outlet foregrounds that another leaves out. All 6 titles tracked in New Zealand sit near the editorial centre in our classification, which is common where the press is dominated by public broadcasters and agencies, or where no confident left/right rating was available. Comparison here is less about political line than about which stories each newsroom judges worth the top of the page.

Leaning groupings are approximate guides drawn from widely cited media-bias assessments — see the methodology and what the labels can and can't tell you.

Across New Zealand's editorial spectrum, Crosswire currently lists near the center, The New Zealand Herald, Stuff, RNZ, 1News, Newsroom and The Post. Each outlet links to a full profile — its description, editorial leaning and a live front-page preview — and the comparison view above shows any of them side by side.
