Please bear in mind it is a starting point only. When youâre trying to get your news out, think about what types of journalists might be interested in your story and who youâre trying to reach.
If you have time, you can usually find contact details for specific journalists or rounds on the internet, for example contact details for different Radio NZ programmes at www.radionz.co.nz/programmes, or or the DomPost newsroom at www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/300318185/get-in-touch-with-the-dompost-newsroom.
