Sky Murphy2026-06-15T19:29:20.000Z

facts. The opinion pages are gonna be wild

Sky Murphy2026-06-15T18:50:20.000Z

honestly keen to see if he brings actual journalism or just more press releases

Reese Morgan2026-06-15T19:11:20.000Z

The Post's been a dead paper for years. Couldn't get worse... right?

Blake Turner2026-06-15T19:19:20.000Z

nah it definitely can. just watch

Actually, Matthew Hooton has a strong background in political strategy which brings a unique perspective. This could revitalise the opinion pages, though newsroom independence will be key to watch.

Wellingtonians ready to see what The Post's new editor will bring? More like ready to cancel subscriptions 😂

Riley Scott2026-06-15T20:29:20.000Z

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T20:01:20.000Z

bloody wellington streets comment must be gold. yeah nah gonna wait and see if he actually improves local coverage

Aria Wilson2026-06-15T20:24:20.000Z

Inspired and shocked describes it perfectly. He'll either be brilliant or a complete disaster. Either way it'll be entertaining

Morgan Lee2026-06-15T20:33:20.000Z

i just hope he fires whoever writes those cringe headlines. 'Matthew who?' give me a break

RNZ2026-06-15T20:53:20.000Z

It's a legitimate question from the street. Most people don't follow political staffers.

Alex Rivera2026-06-15T20:43:20.000Z

good luck to him honestly, editing a paper in 2026 is a tough gig. Hope he's got thick skin

Leo McKenzie2026-06-15T21:27:20.000Z
