The Rest Is History: NZ Woman's Weekly

From Lately, 10:45 pm on 10 December 2020

It's time for the rest is history, where we look at the news of the week in the past! This Tuesday marked the anniversary of the first ever issue of the New Zealand Woman's Weekly in 1932.

Seven thousand copies were printed and it's aim was to lift spirits in the depression. The Weekly has had a pretty big year in 2020 as well.

When Bauer Media announced it was closing its New Zealand operations there was some doubt over the future of the magazine. But it's back stronger than ever. Susana speaks with its new editor Marilynn McLachlan about the magazine's past and future!
