Popular New Zealand TV presenter Joanna Paul-Robie has revealed she is dying of cancer. Paul-Robie, who is known for reading the news on TV3, told Radio New Zealand on Friday she was “unfortunately dying.” The beloved newsreader announced the news as she received the Icon Award for her work in the creative industries. “I was so touched because this award means so much to me, coming from Tauranga Moana,” Paul-Robie said.
“The newsroom was really … it was being run by mostly a pair of middle-class, middle-aged white men who had the audacity and the balls to say ‘If it bleeds it leads’ but these guys you know they had never been in a Māori world,” she said. Paul-Robie started her career at Radio New Zealand, then became a newsreader for TV3 and a program and production manager at Māori Television, which she helped to establish in 2004.
