ABOUT US

The Guild has been in existence for over 50 years (established in 1958). It aims to:

• Provide a channel of communication so members can benefit from an exchange of views and knowledge.
• Provide members with information and with opportunities that will assist them in pursuing their careers.
• Maintain a high standard of agricultural journalism, particularly through its annual journalism awards.
• Promote better understanding of agriculture, and its place in New Zealand’s economic and social life.

The Guild is affiliated to the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ) and members have the opportunity to attend IFAJ congresses held annually in member countries.

Membership is open to individuals working in any area of agricultural communication. Group membership is available to media companies employing a number of agricultural journalists and corporate membership is available for allied businesses, but it does not give corporations voting rights at the AGM.

An invoice for the annual subscription is sent out every January – February, but members can join at any time during the year.
