⬆️ Thank you all for showing me the ropes of NZ news/politics and being total inspirations!

I’ve started a new position as Head of Content Development at Stuff!

I’ll be focused on the editorial strategy for The Post, The Waikato Times and The Press to start off with.

[Elise Johnson @eliserwjohnson1]

I feel very lucky to say I’ll be working closely with some of the best in the business: @sineadboucher, @JoJourno, @Belindalush, @dpcourtney, Tracy Watkins, @kamala_hayman and Jonathan MacKenzie to name just a few.

While it is sad to leave an incredible team, I am very excited to move to New Zealand - job updates to come 👀

For the past six months, my colleagues at @tortoise and I – in partnership with a team at @SkyNews – have been building a database of the financial interests flowing into Westminster.
