Introducing our dedicated Neighbourly reporter - Jake Kenny

Jake Kenny Reporter from The Press

Hey neighbours,

My name is Jake, I'm The Press newspaper's newly appointed Neighbourly reporter for Canterbury and the South Island. I've worked in Stuff's Christchurch newsroom for ten months now where I previously covered breaking news. Neighbourly is growing as a popular tool to access local news and keep in touch with those around us, which we often miss with national media outlets. I'm here to bring you the news closest to you in a role which will work similarly to a community newspaper reporter.

If you have any stories or interesting things happening in your suburb or area, please get in touch!

If you see news posted in your area, please get involved and reply with your comments/thoughts on the issues at hand. I'm all for robust discussion and a bit of banter never went a miss.

Thanks in advance and I look forward to chatting with you all!

- Jake

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
