I'm your new Rotorua Review editor, and I can't wait to start engaging with the communities that make up this wonderful part of the North Island.
This week, I take over the reins from my Waikato communities colleague Nicola Brennan-Tupara, and I'm delighted to be working alongside senior reporter Benn Bathgate.
Together, we aim to bring you a great community read every week, keeping our communities up to date with events, local faces and people stories and everything you've come to expect from the fabulous Rotorua Review - in print and online.
I'd love to hear from readers on what they'd like to see more of, and less of, in their weekly paper.
Please drop me a line at julie.kaio@fairfaxmedia.co.nz or give me a call on 027 204 2958.
