Newshub had to do some tactful filming of the School Strike 4 Climate protests in 2019 when one of their anchors abruptly – and against work policy – hopped into the front line with his then-teenage daughter, who was one of the co-organisers. It was around this time in his journalism career that Mike McRoberts reckons climate change really popped onto the concern radar of the general New Zealand public. “The sight of thousands of kids passionately demonstrating made a lot of us sit up and think, it certainly grabbed my attention,” he says, “I actually felt quite ashamed of
