I'm Katherine Rogers, a journalist originally from Salt Lake City, Utah, now based in Wellington, New Zealand.

I graduated from the University of Utah with a bachelor's degree in communications in 2019. I plan on graduating from Massey University with a master's in management in journalism later this year.

I've been interested in journalism from a young age. This likely came from growing up listening to NPR and wanting to read anything I could get my hands on. I love stories, especially ones about real people. I want to help tell those stories.

I believe it's important for people to be informed about the world around them. After all, an informed, educated population is a productive one. I am excited that I have a chance to ensure people know important information.

Along with loving stories, I also enjoy the process of writing them. I have discovered how much I like doing research for stories. I find interviewing to be an interesting process. It allows you to talk to real people about the things that affect their lives. The enjoyment that I get from writing helps keep me productive and organized. I always strive to be honest and ethical in my writing.

While I like writing about pretty much everything, I have a particular interest in the intersection of arts and politics.

I have been published in CATALYST Magazine, the Wairarapa Times-Age and on the Rundown on Access Radio Wellington.
