Meet this week's reporter - Teresa Cowie

It was a return to her home town for Teresa for this week's investigation into the future of whitebait. Despite growing up on a farm in the area, she says she never actually went whitebaiting, but she does love a good pattie; as they 're called on the West Coast. Teresa trained at the BBC, has been a reporter at RNZ and presented Summer Report. But her love of long form journalism pulled her towards Insight where she has been a senior specialist reporter for the last 3 years.
