On Monday, March 19, 2012, the first edition of the new morning Hawke's Bay Today rolled off the press.
It was my first edition as editor of the paper.
It was the start of an exciting journey, which six years later has sadly come to an end for me.
Yes, I have decided it is time to resign as editor of Hawke's Bay Today and from NZME, the company I have worked at for 16 years.
Being editor is a very demanding job and, although I have loved every minute of it, it is time to move on.
