If it happens in Manawatū, it’s happening on Stuff.

If you want to know everything that is happening, you need a strong independent media to cover it for you. That’s why at Stuff we have talented journalists based here in Manawatū – all working hard on the stories that matter to you.

So if it also ‘happens' that you want to support quality local journalism in Manawatū, give us a friendly pat on the contribute button.
