How to access NZ Herald Premium content for free
And why you might want to
Are you currently subscribed to NZ Herald Premium? If so, you might want to reconsider whether it's worth your money. Many critics argue that some mainstream outlets, including the NZ Herald, often act as extensions of government narratives rather than independent journalistic voices. If that concerns you and you'd still like to read their content - there are ways to do so without paying.
One simple method is through the app Pocket, which allows you to save and view articles offline. By installing their browser extension or using the app, you can save NZ Herald Premium articles and read them at no cost. Just sign up for an account, copy the link to the article you want to read, and save it to Pocket. It’s that easy.
Additionally, consider using Brave Browser when browsing news sites. Brave automatically blocks intrusive ads and trackers, giving you a cleaner reading experience while preventing those sites from generating advertising revenue from your visit.
While this approach may not be for everyone, those looking to avoid supporting paywalled media they disagree with may find these tools useful. And if you're into digital tips like this, follow me.
