Hawkes Bay Today newspaper gone to " the dogs?"
I've been in media, one way or another, most of my life. I owned and edited The Havelock North Village Press in the nineties etc.
I've been subscribing at around $12 a week to Hawkes Bay Today but am considering cancelling as most of the stories are Hawkes Bay Yesterday!!. Is it just me or is the paper just full of " he said, she said" gossip and items about neighbours fighting or kids having their bikes pinched. Most of the other stories are beat-ups from their parent company NZME in Auck. or are items well and truly covered online by Stuff or various other social media outlets.
Anyone else agree that it's time to cancel or should I persevere?
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
