“It’s been an incredible privilege to work for the public broadcaster as we helped the countrythrough a global pandemic, a couple of Prime Ministers, more than a couple of Opposition leaders, not to mention countless other significant news events.
“Now, with the Morning Report refresh complete, RNZ Asia in its establishment phase, and the securing of a significant funding boost for the organisation, it feels as good a time as ever to hand over the reins.”
RNZ said it will soon begin recruitment for Sutherland’s successor.
