The News Publishers’ Association (NPA) has commissioned a follow-up study to research the evolving news media habits of New Zealanders; the 2nd NPA News Engagement Study.

The NPA commissioned a study earlier this year to research the news media habits of New Zealanders to see how their relationship with news media had changed 12 months following the first nationwide level 4 lockdown in March 2020.

A year ago the entire nation went into self-isolation. The News Publishers’ Association (NPA) wanted to explore how New Zealanders' relationship with news media had changed over the past 12 months.
