Shayne Currie A Tribute to Jodi

As broadcaster Simon Barnett came to terms with his wife Jodi’s fatal illness, Shayne Currie came alongside the family to tell their story. His tender piece allowed the family to process their grief and honour Jodi’s life. When it was clear his wife Jodi had just weeks to live, broadcaster Simon Barnett called NZME Editor-at-Large Shayne Currie to let him know it was the right time for an interview. Shayne’s sensitive and compassionate story – which enabled Simon and their four daughters to tell Jodi’s story, and reflect on her legacy of love – gave space for the family to process their grief and pay tribute to a “perfect” wife and mother. In this interview with broadcaster and media chaplain Rev Frank Ritchie, Shayne talks about the care he took communicating Jodi’s story, takes a look back on his impressive career, and analyses the rapidly changing face of journalism.
