@jmnicholls Where have I seen that before?!

Ditto that! Kia kaha (stay strong) from Aotearoa...

Many thanks for your kind words @RachelMorris. And you’re so right about the talented, dedicated crew I was privileged to lead. Wishing you and your team all the best for the new North & South. I’ll be subscribing!

Finally: the fact that people are so excited to see North & South return is a testament to former editor @virginiahlarson and her talented, dedicated crew, who consistently put out a magazine that readers did not want to lose.

Yes, many thanks @smcnz! Lovely surprise package. Every item in use (or scoffed). Thanks also for your very fine service.

Oh yes, @mifflangstone Dog podsters on one side of the computer monitor divide, cat podsters on the other, led by Catwoman, DC @Donna_Chisholm (Catwoman actually was DC, not Marvel. How about that?)

Because dogs are better than cats? Back me up, dog people. Things could get hairy (and furry).

RT @Donna_Chisholm: @sineadboucher Thanks Sinead. In awe of what you have done. Sending every best wish for Stuff’s enduring success.

Thanks for being the voice for magazines @RebekahWh! Good point about a postage subsidy being a quick win for mags and small sacrifice for govt.

Mediawatch @MediawatchNZ

Alert Level 4 banned magazines from printing and publishing, and NZ Geographic is now the only one left covering issues for a national audience. Editor @RebekahWh on what the future holds for publications largely ignored in the moves to save journalism https://t.co/w1IXRI7SYc

You nailed it, Shelley! (And I know only smart, funny, appropriately inappropriate Shelley). I’ll miss our early morning chats, the deep and the shallow. Hair advice always excellent.

Shelley Howells @Shellface

@Donna_Chisholm Thank you Donna! ❤️❤️

RT @Donna_Chisholm: In this case, a retweet is an endorsement. @philhtaylor is a hero.

We’re in too @mifflangstone. Troubled bridge over water...

Joanna Wane @JoannaWane

@mifflangstone @TVNZ Loved it. We’re already hooked.

Likewise, @RebekahWh I tuned in expecting to see you, James Frankham or another MPA member representing magazines. Nope. No longer essential media or even in existence, it seems!

Excellent story @Nikki_Macdonald Thanks for distilling a mass of conflicting info into such a lucid account.

Confused about all the possible Covid-19 treatments being talked about and talked up? I looked at the options, and the evidence (or lack of it). https://t.co/LNgMvpE9dI

Waiting for your name @Donna_Chisholm so I can hit the ❤️with gusto.

5. The senior reporters at the Auckland Star when I joined. Bob Gilmore, Frank Earley, Warwick Roger, Ian Templeton, Jim Tully, Phil Gifford, Sue McPherson. Giants all. But pretty telling there were so few women.
