"I am a multimedia journalist and have been making rural news videos for the last year in Wairarapa, but I now work in radio as a producer covering national stories on air. Journalism excites me because I am able to meet all kinds of people from various countries, backgrounds and opinions; and we do hear some crazy stories. Reporters often go into scenarios with no idea as to what will happen next, which is part of the fun,  but we always learn something new and strive to deliver engaging content to make sure the rest of the world is aware of what's going on." - Ellie Franco
