Nau mai, haere mai e hoa. 

My name is Joe Shaw, a proud Journalism student at the New Zealand Broadcasting School here in Ōtautahi Christchurch. 

I'm from the beautiful Kāpiti Coast, where I grew an interest in appearing in broadcast news after Sam Wallace and TVNZ's Breakfast were filming a segment about my local cafe just round the corner. I've been a keen cyclist, surfer, active reader of nationwide news and have even tried my hand at a bit of community radio presenting. 

At Broadcasting School, I've worked on a variety of stories; health, environment, politics and so on. I've produced these through digital, screen and radio formats, providing me a strong communication approach through multimedia channels. I look forward to expanding my storytelling through Metro News while working towards a career in the industry. It's also really accelerated my confidence, making me far more social than a younger me could've ever expected. I've also been given the awesome opportunity to feature as the male voice for our Bassline 96.1 station for the year.

Connection to me is very important to everyday life. I'm looking forward to showing that through my stories, providing a platform for those from all walks of life while addressing issues that matter to all. 

Mā te wā.
