My name is Ripu, I'm Stuff’s newly appointed Neighbourly reporter for Auckland and Northland. I've worked in Stuff's Auckland newsroom for a year and a half now, and previously covered current affairs and politics.
Neighbourly is growing as a popular tool to access local news and keep in touch with those around us, which we often miss with national media outlets. I'm here to bring you the news closest to you in a role which will work similarly to a community newspaper reporter.
If you have any stories or interesting things happening in your suburb or area, please get in touch!
If you see news posted in your area, please get involved and reply with your comments/thoughts on the issues at hand.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to chatting with you all.
