Crux joins RNZ regional roundup

Crux has been invited to be part of a new series on RNZ that looks at the key issues from each of the regions around NZ - through the eyes of local journalists. 

RNZ Nine to Noon presenter Kathryn Ryan

The series - Around the motu - is a regular 15 minute regional round up from one location and Crux managing editor Peter Newport was interviewed on Nine to Noon this morning (Jan 30) by presenter Kathryn Ryan.

Key issues included the $1 billion Lakeview development, is Queenstown a "resort" and the worker accommodation crisis.

The series is well worth following as it gives a valuable insight into what different regions share as common problems - and which challenges are unique to different parts of the country.

The series episodes are broadcast on Nine to Noon at 10.45 am - you can check out the schedules here.
