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.

Pitching the story first and following up with an email, or following up your media release with a phone call can increase your chances of getting coverage.

If you spot any errors or want to suggest some additions to this list, get in touch. Thanks!
