I'm interested in giving my community - my people a voice. I love to hear and tell stories of others lives and how their story has impacted themselves or their commnity.
I beleive we are all on the same journey, we just get there via different paths and everyones journey is important.
Information is important and as a journalist I endevour to provide people with true and accurate information that can benefit their life and wellbeing.
For Metronews I am the Technology reporter and I aslo cover the Linwood-Cental-Heathcote board.
I am also very interested in crime reporting and investigative journalism.
Still in the progress of making my own website and making social media accounts but for now you can follow me on Twitter: @DanOConnorNZ
