Lloyd Burr joins Stuff Group in senior editorial role

One of the country's most experienced reporters and broadcasters, Lloyd Burr, is joining Stuff Group next month in a key senior editorial role as Explainer Editor.

The former drivetime host at Today FM, Europe Correspondent for Newshub and longtime political reporter, Burr has spent the past four months hosting the popular AM news show on Three.

A self-described news junkie whose broad television and radio background has been characterised by independent and feisty journalism, Burr says he is thrilled to join the country's largest digital news site stuff.co.nz in the Explainer role, which will deliver video, audio and digital articles that go behind the headlines on challenging or difficult topics.

Burr joins the large group of experienced journalists Stuff has hired over the past month, including ThreeNews anchor Samantha Hayes, Lisette Reymer, Jenna Lynch, Ollie Ritchie, Laura Tupou, Heather Keats and Juliet Speedy.

Stuff Digital Managing Director Nadia Tolich says the talent pool of new hires joining the country's largest newsroom at Stuff Group will deliver unmissable news coverage to audiences across all of Stuff's channels.
