Who writes Trending
Trending is written by a five-person team, and each writer looks after one beat. Liam McKenzie is our editor and covers celebrities. Sophie Harrington covers TV and reality, Callum Fraser covers sport stars, Mia Thompson covers music and Ethan Rangi covers events. You can read more about each of them on our team page.
How we work
Every fact we publish is checked against official announcements, broadcasters and established New Zealand news outlets before it goes live. We don’t publish rumours as facts, we don’t guess at ages, relationships or earnings, and we say so plainly when something isn’t public. Dates and figures that change are marked with when they were checked, and our guides to recurring events and TV seasons are updated each year.
Corrections
If you spot a mistake, tell us and we’ll check it and correct it quickly.
