Zealandia was a New Zealand tabloid newspaper published weekly for 55 years in by the Catholic Bishop of Auckland. Its first issue is dated 10 May 1934 and its last is dated 23 April 1989.[1]
It started as the Auckland Truth in 1887.[2][3]
Described as "scandal mongering" and "scurrilious", it has employed well-known New Zealand authors, e.g. Robin Hyde in 1928.[4]
It includes publication of a page 3 girl. When divorces were processed in public courts (from 1982 they were processed in the Family Court), some of the more salacious divorces were reported on page 5.
