Hey John - I’m doing some research into the 1984 election - what was the deadline for submission for evening papers like the Auckland Star? What time did you need to finish your Lange stories for publication, for example? :)

Hi Callum, boy we're talking ancient history here. I'm fascinated by your research -- do you want to give me a bit of background about what you are doing and I'll think about how I can help! John

Thanks John! Basically any memories you have of the press gallery around this time would be hugely valuable to my research! Being plunged into a snap campaign with very little notice - I’m keen to hear how everyone scrambled to cover the trail! Would love to give you my email so I can ask some specific questions around other reporters like Templeton, Rose Collins, Shand etc :)
