The PressPass panel is powered in partnership by The Press and Futurescape.

The PressPass panel has been set up to capture the voice of the readers - to help measure opinions, generate ideas and help keep The Press fresh and appealing to its readers.

A little bit more about the partners:

The Press

The Press is part of the Fairfax Media Group. It is the only remaining daily newspaper in Christchurch, and has the largest circulation and most comprehensive coverage of news in the South Island. The Press has served the people of Canterbury since 1861 and has grown from a six-page, hand-set, weekly tabloid to a six-day a week, colour, broadsheet paper. The Press is now distributed throughout Canterbury, Nelson, Marlborough and the West Coast. Today, 8 out of 10 people in Christchurch and almost half of the South Island's population (aged 15 years plus) read The Press during a typical week.

The Press provides more than local, regional, national, and international news. It caters to special interest groups such as farmers and business people, and every publishing day provides pages of features covering such diverse subjects as health, opinion, food, real estate, wine, entertainment, computers and technology, gardening and more.
