Letter To NZine
Journalist Researching The 'Brain Drain' From New Zealand
Yvette Adams - 14/7/00

Yvette Adams sent this letter to NZine asking expatriate New Zealanders to help her with information for her research.

I am a freelance journalist and am currently researching a story about the 'brain drain' the flow of young, skilled and qualified New Zealanders to more lucrative posts overseas. To date I have around ten interesting profiles from Kiwis who left home to pursue a financial or lifestyle ideal. But I need more. If you could place a notice somewhere on your site, please could you encourage your readers to get in touch with me, and I will judge if they are a suitable candidate and send them out a questionnaire. I am after Kiwis who are settled and working in foreign posts.
