The Herald on Sunday is one of the few papers in this country to have charted increases in circulation and readership over the past few rather difficult years. And that performance has been recognised after it beat out newspapers from across Australia, New Zealand, South-East Asia and the South Pacific to win the best Sunday newspaper at the Pacific Area Newspaper Publishers’ Association (Panpa) Awards.
The weekday Herald took the ‘modern gothic’ approach with its new masthead last year, and the Herald on Sunday has gone in the same direction, with its new look unveiled ahead of this Sunday’s relaunch.
There have been plenty of changes at APN NZ of late, with the relaunch of the Herald last year and restructures of both the editorial and sales and marketing teams. And now the Herald on Sunday, the country’s best performing newspaper, is getting its turn with what editor Bryce Johns calls “a complete revamp of the paper’s look and feel, and improved content mix”.
…as the Herald on Sunday does the APN staff shuffle, Beat Communications brings in new blood by way of former Ogilvy PR lass Jane Finch. Gabrielle Troutback bids farewell to NZ Post, Omnigraphics NZ brings in a non-human hire, Kiwi dairy company The Collective picks up some chunky and prestigious culinary awards in the UK and Fairfax adds another option to the local content offerings.
