Salient is a member of the Aotearoa Student Press Association, (ASPA), which has had a press gallery journalist in the New Zealand House of Representatives since 2005. As Salient is based in Wellington, the ASPA press gallery associate also doubles-up as the news editor for Salient.
Salient news is predominately focused on student issues, the students' association and the university itself. However, Salient has also reported on national items outside of "student" issues. There was significant coverage of the Iraq invasion in 2003 for instance.
The News Editor in 2012 was Stella Blake-Kelly until she was succeeded by Hugo McKinnon in July.

And news much older than their ale went round.”

Small print overspread it,
The news of a day I’ve forgotten
If I ever read it.”
