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.

Famous quotes containing the word news:
“The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“Though news be sad, yet tell them merrily;
If good, thou shamest the music of sweet news
By playing it to me with so sour a face.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I am sure that I never read any memorable news in a newspaper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
