NZME partners with LockerRoom to boost women’s sport coverage

AUCKLAND, Today: NZME has unveiled a new partnership with LockerRoom – Newsroom’s dedicated women’s sport section.

Under the new partnership, a selection of LockerRoom’s stories about New Zealand sportswomen will feature on nzherald.co.nz, in the NZ Herald newspaper and across other NZME news platforms.

NZME managing editor Shayne Currie says the new partnership will complement the Herald’s existing coverage of women’s sport.

“These are stories that aren’t being told elsewhere, so we are thrilled to now share them with Herald readers.”

“This partnership with LockerRoom will help us celebrate the feats of some of Aotearoa’s most talented athletes,” he said.

NZME head of sport Winston Aldworth says LockerRoom extensively covers women’s rugby, netball, cricket, athletics, league, and other sporting codes.

“These are the stories that inspire future sporting stars and pay tribute to those who bring sport to life in our communities. We’re really excited to increase our coverage of these stories and share them with our audiences across New Zealand.”

Suzanne McFadden, Editor of LockerRoom says: “These are stories that aren’t being told elsewhere, so we are thrilled to now share them with Herald readers.”
