DomPost vs New Zealand Herald

I have seen an increasing number of shops in Wellington stocking the New Zealand Herald. If I contrast the writings of the Herald with the writings of the DomPost on network reviews I can see why.

To me the DomPost would seem to give very little thought to issues, simply just dressing up the statements made by the people who have given the reporters an interview. In contrast, the Herald seems to be thinking a bit more deeply about the issues.

Judge for yourself. From the Herald:

From the DomPost:

Note that in Wellington, the DomPost's stamping ground, schools are being (and have been closed) due to network reviews.

Hmm, I think the New Zealand Herald is going to have a growing presence in the Wellington market...
