Lisette Reymer
Lisette Reymer is a multi-award-winning journalist, one of New Zealand’s only war correspondents, and recognised as one of the country’s top storytellers.
In recent years, her life has been a blur of breaking news, border crossings, body armour, landmines and bomb shelters. Her reporting has even drawn the attention of the Russian President, who sanctioned her by name.
At 26, she became Newshub’s Europe Correspondent, covering major global events including the Ukraine war, Queen’s death, Israel-Gaza conflict, Trump’s indictment, King’s coronation, earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, the hunger crisis in Ethiopia, and more.
She’s won multiple journalism awards, including for her Ukraine coverage, and was named 2024 Reporter of the Year. Her book, No, I Don’t Get Danger Money, shares her wildest stories with brutal honesty and humour.
Lisette is also an experienced MC and now serves as Senior Correspondent for Three News, specialising in International Affairs, conflict, and politics—making her ideal for panels, analysis, and keynotes.
