Cleared my desk at Bauer today. 11 years of journalism consigned to 2 black rubbish bags. Rescued this tile mosaic made for me in prison by a guy serving life for murdering his sexual abuser. I’d told him my cat Zac had died. He phoned to ask what colour he was then sent this.

@PeterTMcKenzie @LivingstonAward @nytimes Wow! Huge congrats Pete - I follow your work with great interest.

Flabbergasted to be a finalist for this year’s @LivingstonAward — recognising the best journalism by writers under 35. Extremely grateful to @nytimes for letting me write about the Pacific, the most important region in the world. wallacehouse.umich.edu/announcing-the… 1/3

@MarkCrysell @SundayTVNZ You and your colleagues have changed lives, Mark. You can be so proud of what you’ve achieved. And it ain’t over.

What an extraordinary privilege to have been a @SundayTVNZ reporter. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who jumped on for the ride.

Huge kudos to Newshub staff tonight for their incredible professionalism in the face of their own job losses and fears for their future. Class. You all deserved better.

Stuff Circuit - gone. @NewshubNZ - gone. @SundayTVNZ - gone?! No way! It’s not ‘just about jobs.’ It’s about accountability, transparency, giving a voice to the diverse & voiceless. All who shout the loudest about ‘democracy’ - do something. This cannot happen.

@moanatribe @marcdaalder Xx

@Donna_Chisholm @marcdaalder You’re not too shabby yourself. Just saying!

Two points: 1: @marcdaalder did not get the credit for this story from other media that he deserved. 2: His scoop is an example of why journalism matters.

@moanatribe @marcdaalder I am too.

@Donna_Chisholm @marcdaalder I’m a fan of his work.

@rachelz 😂

@Donna_Chisholm Look, there's a massively helpful explanation!

Gosh I really love men who say “calm down”.

@REasther About to explode. Haven’t posted here for months.

@Donna_Chisholm You eavesdropping on my sitting room? Someone just this very minute said that line will make him popular with the ladies. Also the youth.

@jofromgreylynn @mstevnz @AuntyFeeble @OpinionistNZ @vlcnz @GetBoostedNZ @debs_rivers It was a heart attack. Very much a shock.

@mstevnz @AuntyFeeble @OpinionistNZ @Donna_Chisholm @vlcnz @GetBoostedNZ @debs_rivers Yes, bit of a shock. Apparently they did an autopsy, but that’s all I know atm

To those kiwis following Paul Clark @AuntyFeeble @OpinionistNZ @Donna_Chisholm @vlcnz @mstevnz @GetBoostedNZ @debs_rivers

@moanatribe Thank you x What a terrifying experience for her and your whole whānau. Marg was wonderful to talk to. I love that photo of her and her mum - and the “after” shot where she looks so well. A happy ending for sure.

Great article ⁦@Donna_Chisholm⁩ My whānau were blessed to have such extraordinary care for Marg, thanks to the medical teams in Whangarei & Auckland hospital who diagnosed her so quickly & flew her to Tāmaki. nzherald.co.nz/the-listener/n…

@CarlShuker Thanks Carl!

Hell of a story from @Donna_Chisholm: nzherald.co.nz/the-listener/n…

@nevillemarr Now that’s a blast from the past Nev!

@nzdodo Thank you!!

Back in the Listener this weekend after a two-year hiatus. Great to work with the old team again and new editor Kirsty Cameron.

@rebeccamacfie Ulp… no pressure!

Exciting! The Listener is back online, for the first time since Bauer pulled the pin in 2020. Leading out with the legendary @Donna_Chisholm Why our world-class trauma network is under threat, via @nzherald nzherald.co.nz/the-listener/n…

@weatherpaulg It’s a double-edged sword!

@Donna_Chisholm Can’t wait to read it. A byline on the cover too, wow there’s something to aim for!

@LherrickLinda Thanks Herril x

@Donna_Chisholm great to see you back in the fray Chishd!

@Donna_Chisholm Welcome back! I'm aware that this kind of tweet from someone who works at Mediawatch can read like a threat but I mean it in a nice way!
