Meet our new reporter :)
Pukekohe, believe it or not, is a town I had always envisioned settling down in - and now that I'm straight out of my Wintec journalism degree, I get to work here.
After finally getting my study life over with, I am stoked to be starting my working career at the Franklin County News.
I was born Emelyn McHardy, but feel free to call me Em if I ever give you a call.
I grew up in Papua New Guinea, and after travelling back and forth to New Zealand a few times, I lived there a total of seven years.
But I will always think of little Paeroa as my home town.
I'd probably best describe myself as a "20-year-old nana" - while my friends may enjoy hitting the town, and staying up until 3am, I much prefer an early night at home, watching some Youtube or American Horror Story.
People ask me why I chose journalism. For me journalism means I'll never stop learning, I'll never have the same day twice and I'll always be experiencing something new.
I look forward to my new experiences with Franklin County News and can't wait to meet the community.
Give me a call on 237 0404, 027 886 3942, or email me emelyn.mchardy@fairfaxmedia.co.nz.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
