Madison Malone Awarded The NZUS Council 2025 Media Fellowship

The NZUS Council is delighted to announce that the 2025 NZUS Council Media Fellowship has been awarded to New Zealand business journalist Madison Malone. Madison will spend three weeks in the United States in June 2025 to film and publish a series of in-depth episodes for her business show Markets with Madison, highlighting the people, companies and policy developments shaping the US/New Zealand business relationship.

Council Chair Jonathan Mason says “Madison is to be congratulated on becoming our 2025 Media Fellow. The calibre of applications for this year’s Media Fellowship was extremely high. Madison impressed us with her track record of business reporting and the wide following achieved by Markets with Madison. We look forward to her reporting on how New Zealand businesses are going in the US in these uncertain times.”

Madison Malone said, "It's a real privilege to share the stories of New Zealand companies taking on the world and I'm so excited to do this with the support of the NZUS Council in the United States this year, at what feels like a pivotal time. New Zealand and the US share core values of freedom, ambition and innovation, but our markets are also very different. My interviews from the US will include Kiwi entrepreneurs and executives sharing valuable lessons, providing a useful playbook for others hoping to break into the American market and all the opportunity it offers."

Madison plans to travel across the United States in June to produce video episodes for her business show Markets with Madison, to be published on her YouTube channel and the New Zealand Herald. Markets with Madison had 2.1 million video views in 2024. Malone was named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Media List the same year. Her content featuring CEOs, founders, and industry leaders is known for its integrity, insight and accessibility, and regularly appears in video, podcast and print form.
