Kia Ora!

Ko Aimee Stanton tōku ingoa. I am from right here in Ōtautahi Christchurch.

My dream has always been to surround myself with people all day every day, I just never knew how that would come about. After hearing about the opportunity to study journalism at the New Zealand Broadcasting School, I knew it was where I had to go.

My time here has taught me so much about who I am. I have learned so much about the art of journalism, finding my passion for producing and news reading.

I have always had a huge interest in the arts and crime, but I won’t let a good story go untold. I love hunting out unique stories- the ones people didn’t know they wanted to hear.

A highlight has been working with the team at Single Fin Mingle to get a first exclusive on the post-event coverage of the 2025 festival.

People are the driving force behind all I do. Journalism fuels my drive through the people centric nature of the job. 

Trying new ways to tell stories is something I am pushing myself to do. I don’t want to confine myself to one way of publishing stories. There is so much outreach across a variety of new and old mediums that need to be harnessed.

I could not be more excited to see what the future of journalism holds.
