Rebecca Wright had worked at TV3 (now Three), where its news service was known as 3 News at the time, before jumping across to TVNZ. This year she had just returned to what is now known as Newshub and is currently the anchor of Newshub’s 8pm bulletin on eden before replacing Oriini Kaipara as co-host of Newshub Nation (with Simon Shepherd) a few months later.
I have just been informed that, after three years as TVNZ’s Europe correspondent, Daniel Faitaua will be returning to New Zealand in October. His last day in the role was last Friday (27 August) and another TVNZ journalist, Mei Heron, took over from today (30 August), according to Stuff.
It is intended that Daniel will continue to be seen on various TVNZ news and current affairs programmes, including Breakfast.

I note that Daniel Faitaua is back reporting in London. Mei Heron has had quiet the orientation to her tenure as Europe Correspondent - glad she has back-up.
