InternetNZ | Ipurangi Aotearoa will launch new annual Internet Insights research on Monday, 2 March 2026.
The report provides insights into our attitudes towards the Internet and our online world. As we spend more of our lives online, this research helps us, as a country, better understand how we use the Internet and how we feel about it.
Key research insights include:
- New Zealanders’ use of AI and the concerns about its impact.
- How much time we spend online for personal use (outside of work), and what we do with that time.
- Which social media apps we are using.
- Specific concerns we have about our lives being increasingly spent online.
Early access to research:
If you’d like to read the report before it goes live from 2 March, we’re happy to release it to you under embargo (2 March, 6am) and arrange any interviews or quotes you might need.
InternetNZ Chief Executive Vivien Maidaborn is available for interviews on Sunday, with some limited availability on Thursday and Friday.
