"She is the real deal journalist: honest, ferocious, with a burning desire to tell the truth.
"She's also committed to developing young reporters, and she leaves Newshub with a lot of goodwill."
RNZ said in a statement that they are "delighted" to have Owen on board as "an outstanding journalist and broadcaster."
Owen will begin her role in mid-September, replacing veteran broadcaster John Campbell, who has fronted the show since 2015.
