Espiner slots in on Morning Report

Political journalist Guyon Espiner has been announced as Geoff Robinson's replacement on Radio New Zealand's Morning Report.

Robinson announced his retirement on-air in November, after more than 30 years in journalism.

Espiner has had a 20-year career in journalism, working in both print and broadcast media.

He has previously held roles as the political editor for Television New Zealand and, earlier, the Sunday Star Times.

More recently he has worked as an anchor and journalist on TV3's 3rd Degree and The Vote.

Espiner will begin presenting Morning Report in April.
