New-look Gisborne Herald starts tomorrow

The new format and features for The Gisborne Herald start tomorrow.

As a taste of what’s to come, we have included your new Travel magazine in today’s paper.

Moving forward, you will also find some changes to regular features such as farming pages being renamed The Country and running on Thursday and Saturday. The Arts and Entertainment Guide will be on Friday rather than Thursday.

As you will have read in March, The Gisborne Herald is now owned by NZME (New Zealand Media and Entertainment). NZME publishes five regional daily newspapers, 15 community newspapers, The New Zealand Herald and nzherald.co.nz

The paper remains committed to local news and information that is important to the people of Tairāwhiti. This will be supplemented with the best content from NZME’s 300-plus journalists and leading international syndicated content to bring you the best of local, national and international news. Some of the features you love like weather, puzzles etc will get a fresh design.

There are also new magazines that will be included in the paper. New Zealand’s most-read travel magazine — Travel — will be in Tuesday’s paper. OneRoof Property magazine will be in Thursday’s paper and lifestyle liftout Viva Local Life will be included in the Saturday paper.

From tomorrow, there will be two opinion pages in each edition.

Subscribers to The Gisborne Herald have a great additional benefit, with all five-day-a-week subscribers to the paper also receiving a complimentary NZ Herald Premium online subscription to keep up to date with the best news from around New Zealand as it happens.

Additionally, newspaper subscriptions have been transferred on to NZME’s subscriber management platform which makes it easier to manage your subscription.

Thank you for your continued support of The Gisborne Herald. We hope you enjoy the new magazines and refreshed newspaper.
