Behind the Story: If you love a dog, you must also love disposing of its shit

On Friday, Bulletin editor Anna Rawhiti-Connell sent her final
newsletter, and took the opportunity to share what she’s learned
about the news over two years of curating it for thousands of New
Zealanders. Earlier in the week, she’d seen reports of Auckland dog
owners discarding their pets’ turds on the ground after Auckland
Council removed bins across the city. And so, the column “If you
love a dog, you must also love disposing of its shit” was born.
Anna joins Madeleine Chapman to talk about the power journalists
have when framing a story and how to find the middle ground between
boring and sensational. For The Spinoff editor’s thoughts on the
