From the time Sue Emeny was a toddler the smell of lead, moving machinery and ink permeated her life, being the daughter of print foreman, Trevor, at the Dannevirke Evening News.
Sue said her dad worked long hours in the production of Dannevirke s daily paper and she spent time watching and learning about the business, developing a desire to become a journalist.
At age 17 she joined the company as a cadet and worked three years in that role under the guidance of local icons Warren Barton, Colin Laurie and Hap Appleton. She had to overcome incredible shyness but experience is a great teacher.
