About The Palmerston North Herald

The Palmerston North Herald is a fictional satirical news website. It is not a real newspaper and is not affiliated with any real publication, including any similarly named national or local media outlet.

The site parodies the tone, structure, and urgency of local news while celebrating the particular magic of Palmerston North, Manawatu weather, civic processes, weekend sport, and the social consequences of parking near The Plaza.

Articles are invented for entertainment. Any resemblance to real people, pigeons, consultants, roundabouts, or councillors is coincidental unless they are behaving exactly as predicted.
