Media outlets around the world are financially struggling.

Some of them have made staff redundant while others have shut down completely. 

Re: News is owned by TVNZ, which is one of many media companies in Aotearoa trying to make ends meet. 

TVNZ is owned by the government but it’s commercially funded.

To make sure we can keep telling stories that are important to young New Zealanders, we need you to click the link in bio on our social media accounts to visit our website. 

Visiting our website is a tangible way you can support us. 

Earlier this year, a lot of you asked how you could support us. 

We’d love it if you watch our videos on TVNZ+ and read our articles on our website - for free!

We own those platforms and can put ads on them, which generates money that keeps us employed so we can keep telling your stories. 

Every time you click the link in bio and visit our website, a Re: News journalist cries tears of joy. 


renews.co.nz and TVNZ+ are the only places you can see our content in full. 

We’re going to keep posting snippets of articles and videos to our social media accounts.

But the full articles and full videos will only be available on our own platforms. 

We really care about the content we make, but unfortunately Meta platforms aren’t a stable place for news to be posted - in March, Meta automatically limited the amount of political content users see.

It’s also removed the News Tab in Australia, the US, UK, France and Germany. In Canada, Meta has banned users from posting links to news on Facebook and Instagram - and they’ve suggested they could do the same in Australia.

On a different note, you might notice we've also changed our font - this is just because of licensing reasons.
