Stuff.co.nz is a major New Zealand news website, providing a wide range of news and information to the public. It is owned by Stuff Limited, a company that operates several newspapers and digital platforms in New Zealand. Stuff.co.nz is one of the most visited websites in New Zealand, offering news coverage on national and international events, politics, business, technology, sports, and entertainment.

History[edit | edit source]

Stuff.co.nz was launched in 2000 by INL (Independent Newspapers Limited), a subsidiary of News Corporation. It was initially created to serve as an online portal for INL's newspapers. In 2003, INL sold its publishing assets, including Stuff, to Fairfax Media, an Australian media company. Under Fairfax, Stuff.co.nz expanded its digital presence and became a leading news website in New Zealand.

In 2018, Fairfax Media merged with Nine Entertainment Co., but Stuff.co.nz was sold to Stuff Limited in 2020, a company owned by its CEO, Sinead Boucher, for NZ$1. This move made Stuff.co.nz a locally owned and operated news platform.
