In a time of change, your Hauraki Coromandel Post has a new Editor.
My name is Jim Birchall, and I come to the paper after working, most recently, on Waiheke Island, writing community stories and features on prominent and interesting Waihekians.
In the summer, I spend my spare time umpiring cricket at the national level, host a well-received podcast, and dabble in acting and community radio.
Waiheke's proclivity to living and working within a marine environment has obvious parallels to the Coromandel.
After making the short traverse across the Firth of Thames, I now look forward to sinking my teeth into local stories by getting out and about meeting our newsmakers, local businesses, people, sports teams, and environmental guardians.
