New Zealand Media & Entertainment, also known as NZME, is a publicly owned company headquartered in New Zealand. Founded in 2001, with approximately 990 employees, it provides marketer and agency technology. The company operates a portfolio of newspapers, radio stations, and digital platforms.
An investor group led by former media analyst Roger Colman demanded the removal of NZME's chief executive on October 8, 2026, citing years of poor returns, mismanagement, and a loss of trust. Previously, on September 29, 2026, NZME radio boss Jason Winstanley was appointed the new chief executive of RNZ, a development noted for its implications beyond the public broadcaster, given Winstanley's current role splitting his workday between the NZ Herald-Newstalk ZB newsroom and entertainment radio stations. Earlier, on September 11, 2026, NZME elevated Deep Balsara to Programmatic Director. Balsara, who previously served as Programmatic Manager, brings over eight years of experience across agency and publisher environments with a background in programmatic advertising and digital media. This follows the NZ Herald's confirmation on September 8, 2026, that it is modernizing its paywall with a personalized experience to attract more subscribers, a change it stated would not impact article creation. The Herald launched its premium journalism model in 2019.
