Listen now
Description
Iconic New Zealand monthly current affairs magazine North & South is rising from the ashes, and at the helm will be new editor Rachel Morris. German journalists Konstantin Richter and Verena Friederike Hasel bought the title from Bauer Media who closed it down during April's Level 4 lockdown.

And now she's part of the "brain-gain" of successful New Zealanders returning home as a result of the global pandemic. So what's her vision for North & South and the future of feature writing in NZ?
