Digital PUBLISHING in New Zealand

Established in 2009, the Digital Publishing Forum in New Zealand focuses on enabling the creation, distribution, and licensing of local digital content. With services such as conversion, distribution, metadata support, and collection marketing, the organization aims to maximize returns for content rightsholders. Through funding from Creative NZ and collaboration with publishers, the group emphasizes correct rights management and training to enhance the digital publishing landscape in New Zealand. Looking ahead, initiatives include a government inquiry into digital literacy, joint projects with the National Library, and the development of an ONIX platform.
