Joanna Norris is a former newspaper editor and Chief Content Officer at Stuff, and has spent her career building newsrooms that are useful to the communities they serve. She chairs SisterSitesNZ’s standards committee.
She is responsible for the policies that sit underneath every page on this site: a published complaints process, dated corrections, a hard line on responsible-gambling content, and a firewall between editorial work and any commercial activity. If a story or a listing is not defensible against those standards, it does not run.
Her view is that an independent desk only earns the word independent by behaving like one in public — slowly, consistently and on the record.
