Nicholas Boyack - Journalist Raised in Naenae, and attending Naenae College, Nicholas's university studies included American history. His awareness of a line in Bob Dylan’s song, ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ -“you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows”, led to a study of the ‘Weather Underground’- a militant group of young white Americans who used violence as a means of social and political change. Nicholas believes his proudest achievement, largely unrecognised, was his success at helping the five New Zealanders executed in World War 1, pardoned. The resistance to the access of historical papers on this led to disillusionment, and the partaking in a journalism course at Wellington Polytechnic. Employment followed at Wainuiomata News, the Hutt News, and now Stuff, where Nicholas is ‘Bureau Chief’. An interesting and insightful talk that generated lots of questions. |
