The New Zealand Listener is a New Zealand magazine, published by APN Holdings (the publishers of The New Zealand Herald). It focuses on a variety of different topics, including current affairs, politics and entertainment. Its circulation figures as of 2006 are around 73,000. The editor of The Listener is Pamela Stirling.
For many years it had a monopoly on the publication of upcoming television and radio programmes, a monopoly it only lost during the 1980s. Despite the increase in competition since that time, it is still regularly one of the top selling magazines in the country.
In 2004 and 2005, the Listener produced a New Zealand Listener Power List of the 50 most powerful people in New Zealand.
