Backyard Banter - Column Writing

The Brief: writing weekly columns for Stuff NZ's network of local newspapers, I explored Kiwi culture from the perspective of an immigrant. These were short, well-humoured, and celebrated the New Zealand quirks that make the country so unique.

Challenges: these columns weren't going into one newspaper, they were going into many. These pieces had to be relevant to a range of audiences and remain respectful - even though they poked a little bit of fun at the key readers.
