Asian Insider is an English-language publication covering New Zealand news, people and everyday life, with a focus on Asian communities and the experiences of people making a home here.
What you will find here
Our coverage includes community stories, Filipino New Zealand life, people, culture and practical guides. We also explain official announcements that affect readers, with links to the original information where appropriate.
How to read our coverage
Some articles draw on reporting published elsewhere; others summarise or translate official information. These should be distinguished from interviews or reporting carried out by Asian Insider. Our Editorial Standards page explains our approach to sources, translations and AI-assisted work.
Our archive includes stories from earlier years. Check the publication date, particularly when reading about policies, services or requirements that may have changed.
Bylines and responsibility
Bylines identify the contributor or publishing account associated with a story. Source attribution should make clear whose reporting or announcement an article draws on.
