The New Zealand Press Association was set up in 1879 and is New Zealand's largest national news agency. It is owned by the country's daily newspapers and supplies them with a 24-hour national and international news service.
The service is provided by a data link from NZPA's main newsroom in Wellington. The NZPA newsroom sends out about 1000 different pieces of information every 24 hours, compiled from the news resources of its own staff, the daily newspapers, overseas wire services and other sources like The New Zealand Stock Exchange.
