Thank you :)

Reporter Rotorua News

Thank you. We don’t say those two words nearly enough. So at this busy time of year I want to make sure you hear them from us. It’s a great privilege to run a local newspaper. We’re there for all the joys and the frustrations of this area. We get to see our communities at their best and, occasionally, when they’re struggling. But what is a highlight for us is getting to know you. So a big thank you to all our readers who support us. Thank you to all of you who contribute to this paper. We appreciate all the people who have told us their stories. And thank you to all our friends in businesses who support us with their advertising. 2017 has been a momentous year. But what has been on display too often in the news has been what divides us rather than what brings us together. So as we head off for Christmas, I hope we remember all the things that bind us together. Like friends and families and the great places we choose to live. Let’s be thankful for all the good things we have right here. Merry Christmas, happy holidays. And thank you.

Are you keeping it old school?

We know that things come back around, look at vinyl records!

Do you still use any old-school technology (like landlines or VHS tapes) at home?
