1973 Davidson 31 – For sale

Adam Burns Reporter Te Arawa / Ngāti Whakaue What I cover: I mostly cover the wider Canterbury region. I have proven to be highly versatile, equally adept at covering stories involving local authorities, court, major emergencies, sport and arts/culture. My background: I have been a full-time working journalist for seven years. I have worked out of the RNZ Christchurch newsroom since 2022. During this period, I have covered a range of stories of national significance. Before my move to RNZ I had a three-and-a-half year stint working in print. I worked at the Otago Daily Times' Central Otago office for more than a year before taking up a role as sports reporter for the Ashburton Guardian in 2020. I later became the paper's Local Democracy Reporting (LDR) reporter, before moving to Christchurch where I was briefly the LDR reporter for the Rangiora-based North Canterbury News. I am also an avid music fan and have been a regular music feature writer and contributor for multiple publications and radio shows since the late-2000s.
