Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96, media outlets around the world broke the news and commemorated the life of the longest-serving British monarch. Here in New Zealand, Stuff released a special afternoon newspaper to mark the passing of Her Majesty, which was distributed by staff at lunchtime on the streets of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. This accompanied live coverage from the moment news came from Balmoral, as Stuff’s digital audience soared with millions of early morning views of the site’s live blogs, audio takes and videos. The special print edition is also being inserted into Saturday’s daily papers and the Sunday Star-Times. NZ Herald Focus is live from Wellington covering the Death Gun Salute by New Zealand Army’s 16 Field Regiment around 6pm.
