My Opinion Piece

Watching the news lately, I was wondering: why Greymouth is never  on the news and Auckland always is?

I thought to myself why are the news reporters not putting us on the news. We have plenty of stuff  happening, just recently we had the wild food festival and they chose to put Auckland housing crisis on the front page why do they this?

I don't think it is fair, because everyone on  social media puts all the bad stuff about Greymouth and in Auckland  all the good stuff gets put on. The West Coast have some of the best scenery and tourist attractions in New Zealand. But the media only seem to cover the bad stuff about the West Coast   

My solution is to get someone to film the big events around the West Coast and send them to the big news companies, also you could get people to share this news on social media with people all around the world. Every week get someone to make up a news programme that shows everything that has happened over the last week and show what is coming up in the next week, and share this on social media.

In conclusion we have to make a big effort to make sure a lot of west Coast news is available for the people that want to see it.
