I am a "former" journalist in the sense that I no longer work full time in editorial. I am a teacher of journalism and a journalism scholar.
I guess being a "former" journalist is a bit like being a recovering alcoholic. It never really leaves your system.
I maintain some links to journalism through columns I do for an Australian publication called The Walkley magazine (published by the journalists' union, the MEAA) and book reviews for newspapers and magazines.
I also edit student work on a regular basis for several of our own publications including Te Waha Nui
It's a possibility :) I'd certainly love to do my masters degree in NZ. But I'll be focusing on trying to do some journalism work first. I'm just waiting for the embassy to tell me if my application was successful. :)
I spent three months in Auckland last year and can't wait to go back and stay there for a bit longer. Luckily, I had the chance to travel all over NZ (both islands). You live in a truly beautiful country.
