I'm Virginia Larson, and new to Wikipedia. I'm based in Auckland, New Zealand/Aotearoa. I'm the editor of North & South, a monthly current affairs magazine owned by Bauer Media. Before being appointed editor in 2008, I was deputy editor/senior writer for North & South -- covering education, social issues, health and business. In the 90s I spent five years in Los Angeles, where I was West Coast correspondent for the UK Daily Mail. I've served on the Science Media Centre advisory board and Media Freedom Committee (NZ); I've also been a Magazine Publishers Association journalism awards judge.

As part of my job I'm going to be uploading photos and graphics for which North & South/Bauer Media own the copyright. If you have any questions feel free to contact me on vlarson@bauermedia.co.nz
