And now for the good news

Much is said of media focusing too much on what's going wrong - now we're going to tackle this head on.

From today, we plan to shout more about the good things.

We already cover many stories about the great things people, companies, agencies, councils, even government departments, are doing.

What we haven't done so well is show off about it.

Some recent examples would be our celebration of a year with the Waterview Tunnel. Or pay rates outside main centres are actually pretty good. How about the Rotorua barista who prides herself on serving up happiness with every coffee?

There's the companies bringing innovation to corporate travel. And the Auckland Blues winning at home.

Meet NZME UPBEAT.

When you see this branding, you will know this is something we consider you'll be cheered by. We'll be cheering about it too.

Cheers.

Regional News Director
