Cleared my desk at Bauer today. 11 years of journalism consigned to 2 black rubbish bags. Rescued this tile mosaic made for me in prison by a guy serving life for murdering his sexual abuser. I’d told him my cat Zac had died. He phoned to ask what colour he was then sent this.

@PeterTMcKenzie @LivingstonAward @nytimes Wow! Huge congrats Pete - I follow your work with great interest.

@MarkCrysell @SundayTVNZ You and your colleagues have changed lives, Mark. You can be so proud of what you’ve achieved. And it ain’t over.

Huge kudos to Newshub staff tonight for their incredible professionalism in the face of their own job losses and fears for their future. Class. You all deserved better.

[Moana M @moanatribe]

Stuff Circuit - gone. @NewshubNZ - gone. @SundayTVNZ - gone?! No way! It’s not ‘just about jobs.’ It’s about accountability, transparency, giving a voice to the diverse & voiceless. All who shout the loudest about ‘democracy’ - do something. This cannot happen.

Two points: 1: @marcdaalder did not get the credit for this story from other media that he deserved. 2: His scoop is an example of why journalism matters.

Christopher Luxon is the first Prime Minister in at least 34 years to claim the payment as previous titleholders have either lived in Premier House or were already based in Wellington. https://t.co/QqOK2LlQiP

@moanatribe Thank you x What a terrifying experience for her and your whole whānau. Marg was wonderful to talk to. I love that photo of her and her mum - and the “after” shot where she looks so well. A happy ending for sure.
