Stuff welcomes Lloyd Burr, bringing bold and insightful journalism

AUCKLAND, Today: Lloyd Burr, one of the country’s top reporters and broadcasters, is joining Stuff Group next month as Explainer Editor. Burr brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for independent, feisty journalism.

Burr, known for his roles as drivetime host at Today FM and Europe Correspondent for Newshub, recently hosted the AM news show on Three. His stint ends when Newshub closes on July 5.

A self-proclaimed ‘news junkie’ with a strong TV and radio background, Burr is excited to join stuff.co.nz. In his new role, he’ll create content that dives deep into complex topics.


“News, politics, technology, sport, and pop culture are getting more complex. Groups on all sides try to spin the truth.” – Lloyd Burr


“News, politics, technology, sport, and pop culture are getting more complex. Groups on all sides try to spin the truth,” Burr says. “Stuff’s Explainer series seeks the real story using solid research and reporting. That’s vital journalism today.”

Burr’s political reporting career started 13 years ago, quickly earning him a reputation for holding politicians accountable. As Europe Correspondent in London, he covered major stories like Covid-19, terror attacks, Brexit, and royal weddings.

Burr joins a talented group of journalists Stuff has hired recently. They will work across Stuff’s platforms, including the ThreeNews 6pm bulletin for Warner Bros. Discovery. New hires include Samantha Hayes, Lisette Reymer, Jenna Lynch, Ollie Ritchie, Laura Tupou, Heather Keats, and Juliet Speedy.

Stuff Digital Managing Director Nadia Tolich says the new talent pool will deliver unmissable news coverage across all of Stuff’s channels. “Like Newshub, our journalism at Stuff is independent, gutsy, and of the people. Our growing team of new reporters, including Lloyd, embodies that spirit brilliantly.”
