Newsroom (website)

Newsroom is a New Zealand online news publication that was founded by Tim Murphy and Mark Jennings in 2017 and is co-edited by them.

[1][2] The current website launched on 13 March 2017, with a promise to cover "the things that matter" and the hope of being a "New Zealand version of The Guardian".

The site was founded by Tim Murphy, the former editor in chief of the New Zealand Herald, and Mark Jennings, former head of news and current affairs at Newshub.

On June 20, 2017, the site revealed the clandestine recording of a staff member working for the MP Todd Barclay, in an article titled "Politicians, police, and the payout".

In collaboration with the Financial Times, Newsroom raised an issue with the background of Chinese National Party MP Jian Yang.

The Financial Times says one of the schools is part of China's military intelligence apparatus, training linguists to intercept foreign communications.
