Voyager Media Awards
Since 2018, Voyager has been the premier sponsor of the New Zealand Media Awards. The Voyager Media Awards celebrate and recognise excellence in New Zealand journalism and are managed and promoted by the News Publishers' Association.
Held annually, the Voyager Media Awards encourage, showcase and acknowledge the best of New Zealand’s news media across all platforms. They recognise the work of journalists, reporters, feature writers, columnists, cartoonists, reviewers, photographers and video journalists, culminating in a celebration of the winners at a black-tie awards ceremony.
Voyager is proud to support an initiative that celebrates journalistic excellence in New Zealand. With the rate at which news is shared and consumed digitally, we – as a telecommunications provider – are a natural fit.
Do the right thing, always do your best, and help others; these are our core values, which we see as aligning closely with the ethos of the New Zealand media, which works hard to deliver credible, informative, and well-balanced news to the public.
By lauding the talent, transparency, honesty, and service delivered by New Zealand’s best media, we are proud to play a part in recognising their dedication to public service with these awards, and see our sponsorship as helping to showcase and celebrate this talent in a fast-changing digital world.
