17.01.2022 From time to time as a court reporter you experience angry feedback from people when you report on them or their family. I get that it comes with the territory, but it is my job. Those people should however know that I spend numerous hours in and out of court each week ensuring that I have the facts and that where necessary, my stories are signed off by the paper’s media lawyers. Every now and then though you experience some trolling that you can’t sit back and take. This mo...nth and for the past few years I have reported on a convicted drug dealer that pleaded GUILTY to stashing 150 ecstasy pills down his pants. Here is a link to his story. https://www.northerndailyleader.com.au//out-of-a-rut-dru/ I have now received this screenshot from a number of concerned friends and family. The author is the wife of that convicted drug dealer. I will not dignify the author’s allegation with a direct response other than to say that hopefully in 2020 a happily married woman can be friends and ride bikes with men (and women). I’m confident most people get that, my husband does anyway. I could sue the author for defamation but she has probably suffered enough in recent times. Or, I could lean on some advice I recently learnt in dealing with haters. That is, people that hate on other people are just not in a very good place in their lives. Happy Friday!

10.01.2022 It’s been one hell of a week! But I ventured to the National Press Club in Canberra to learn from one of the most progressive in the industry.

07.01.2022 Very sad news for regional media - Australian Community Media - publisher of Leader - is temporarily closing four printing presses including Tamworth, and suspending printing of 'a number' of non-daily papers because of COVID-19. This is why you need to support local media and subscribe. No other print media will tell you Tamworth stories. No other media covers the Tamworth court. Council meetings will have less scrutiny, sporting teams won't be celebrated and community events won't get all the photos and coverage. And, we won't be able to ask the questions for you and 'keep the bastards honest'.
