New Zealand Listener
a weekly magazine established in 1939 by the state-owned National Broadcasting Service. In addition to programme notes, from its inception the Listener included columns, reviews, short stories, and poetry along with feature articles by leading New Zealand writers and journalists. Editors Oliver Duff (1939–49) and Monte Holcroft (1949–67) established the role of the Listener as a forum reflecting New Zealand's emerging cultural identity and social issues. The magazine was sold to commercial publishers in 1990.

The New Zealand Listener is a New Zealand magazine. First published in 1939 and edited by Oliver Duff[2] and M. H. Holcroft, it originally had a monopoly on the publication of upcoming television and radio programmes.[3] In the 1980s it lost its monopoly on the publication of upcoming television and radio programmes. Despite the increase in competition since that time, it is still one of the top selling magazines in the country. It was privatized in 1990 and is now published by APN News & Media. It covers a variety of general topics, including current affairs, politics and entertainment. Its circulation figure as of 2010 is around 63,000.[1] Pamela Stirling has been the editor since 2004.[4]
Since 2004, the Listener has produced an annual New Zealand Listener Power List of the 50 most powerful people in New Zealand.
Notable people to have been published in the Listener include: James K. Baxter,[3] Janet Frame[3] and Maurice Shadbolt.[3]
