RNZ head of digital Glen Scanlon said RNZ was growing quickly online but remained focused on reaching as many New Zealanders as possible.

"We make great story-telling and we just want people to engage with it. This means recognising that we need to be where audiences are - one of those places is Stuff," he said.

Both RNZ and Fairfax have entered into other content agreements recently.

Last year, RNZ signed a deal with the website MSN and this year Fairfax began using TVNZ video content on Stuff.

RNZ's deal with Fairfax was for an initial three-month trial and the public broadcaster would receive a share of the advertising revenue.
