Zoe McMaugh
Senior journalist
Zoe is the senior journalist for the Deniliquin Pastoral Times and Southern Riverina News.
She covers general news, politics, local government, police, writes features, takes photographs, and is a sub editor.
Zoe came to the Deniliquin Pastoral Times in November 2004 after completing a Bachelor of Arts (Journalism/Public Relations) at the University of Western Sydney.
Having completed all her secondary schooling in Deniliquin, she was keen to return to her home town to start her career in journalism. It was a goal she had been aiming for since primary school.
With an interest in photography, working in a rural paper has given Zoe the opportunity to explore all facets of the newspaper industry as well as reporting.
Zoe likes to get stuck into hard news stories, but particularly delights in working on feature stories, particularly about returned services personnel for Anzac Day and Remembrance Day features.
