Joanna is the CEO of ChristchurchNZ which promotes the city as both a tourism destination and a dynamic place for business to grow.  In this interview we talk about her early life, working as a reporter, the role of journalism in the world today, her role as Editor of The Press just after the earthquakes and what the future holds for Christchurch.  I really enjoyed this 85th episode and my discussion with Joanna and am sure you will appreciate it as well.  If you do like this check out one of the other episodes and subscribe to ensure you don't miss out on the next conversation. https://www.christchurchnz.com/new-zealand/ Article mentioned that I wrote on the new Christchurch: https://thespinoff.co.nz/business/13-11-2018/the-new-christchurch-style-old-boys-out-entrepreneurs-in/ This is the 85th episode, for more stories visit www.theseeds.nz  @seeds_podcast
