Gower attracts full house at Press Club

TV3 political editor Patrick Gower beat the fog to be guest speaker at the latest School of Media Arts’ Press Club free lunch extravanganza.

It was the social highlight of Hamilton’s  week – and everyone who is anyone in media was there to hear Patrick Gower spill the beans on his career in Parliament as this country’s most respected political reporter.

Gower, who began his journalism career in Hamilton, spoke candidly about Parliament, MPs, and their acolytes.
