"The problems of puzzles are very near the problems of life.   
But I think the next best thing to solving a puzzle is finding some humor in it.”   
 
   
There are over 120 newspapers within NZ - from major dailies with a circulation of over 170,000, to small community papers with a circulation of under 5,000 units.
 

Every metropolitan and provincial city has it's own daily paper.

The only national papers are the Sunday Star Times & Sunday News - published by Fairfax Newspapers.

All mono, colour and insert options are available to advertisers in all the daily papers.

A number of package buys have also been put together by the newspaper publishing groups, that can deliver additional value to a regular advertiser. And the Newspaper Advertising Bureau (NAB), provides independent press planning and buying options across all publishing groups (for daily papers only, not for community newspapers).

Community newspapers are strong in New Zealand, with Fairfax and APN being the major players.
