Isaac Davison is a Senior Reporter specialising in health issues for New Zealand's Herald.

I am the Herald’s health reporter and I have a special interest in inequality, public housing, alcohol and drug reform, and euthanasia. I started at the Herald in 2008 on the night shift, before moving to Tauranga to report on the Bay of Plenty. I was later the science and environment reporter, a role in which I covered the Rena oil spill disaster and the Christchurch earthquakes. I spent six years at the Parliamentary Press Gallery in Wellington, where I closely covered two general elections in 2014 and 2017. In that time, I also covered the legalisation of same-sex marriage in New Zealand and reported from trips abroad to Antarctica, Japan, Indonesia, Australia and the Marshall Islands. In 2020, I was awarded runner-up for Feature Writer of the Year (Social Issues) for my reporting on historic sexual abuse at Dilworth School. Before journalism, I studied English and History at the University of Auckland and wrote my Masters thesis on the great New Zealand poet Allen Curnow.
