| Résumé: | Unlike the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, where celebrities are often subjected to derision in the tabloid media, the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly, the country’s longest-running women’s magazine, respects and values its local celebrities.

More recently, however, the magazine has turned its attention to well-known New Zealanders and developed its own brand of celebrity news. |
