Christian Today New Zealand
CTNZ was initiated last Monday 13 February, we are now one full week into the New Zealand Christian market place of ideas -
- 18 New Zealand young writers
- former young writers,
- 'senior writers'
- NZ Christian news
CTNZ publishing roster is spread over 10 Cycles – each Cycle consists of a 4 week roster. The 'senior writers' is an age delineation, those who have progressed and now over 35 years of age.
Christian Today New Zealand is something fresh – distinctive online publishing from Christian Today Australia / UK / International / India ....... Irenie How send reminders to all Kiwi young writers for their articles to be in on their due dates in each Cycle – then Irenie How allots publishing days over each 4 week Cycle.
Uploading the Kiwi articles to the Christian Today New Zealand platform is another of Irenie How's roles. This is a 2-3 minute task for each article. NZ Christian media is sent each day's one current Kiwi article for republishing in a roster by three Kiwi young writers, Esther Koh, Sabrina Meyer and Michele Ong.
Meanwhile, the young writer program welcomes additional Kiwi young writers – info@markt.id.au
