1News

1News is the news service of TVNZ, New Zealand's state-owned broadcaster, and produces the country's most watched bulletin. TVNZ is state-owned but operates commercially on advertising revenue, a hybrid particular to New Zealand.

The Pacific islands are a regular subject in its reporting; New Zealand's position in the region makes Pacific developments visible here in a way they rarely are elsewhere. Earthquake and natural disaster coverage is another area of institutional strength.
