I started my new job as an editor at Te Ara, the online encyclopedia of NZ, last week and one of my tasks is to manage the Te Ara blog: Signposts.
Mainly I’ll be editing and publishing other people’s blog posts, but last Friday, when we heard that Edmund Hillary had died, all the usual writers were nowhere to be seen. And so the task of writing a post about Sir Ed fell to me.
You can admire it here.
