Aydin Payne

Aydin is sports editor for the Shepparton News. He started out here in the first months of 2019 as a third-year cadet after graduating from La Trobe University with a media and communications degree, majoring in sports journalism. As a kid who grew up in regional south-west Victoria, Aydin lived and breathed community sport and that love has never wavered. He understands the important role a regional publication has in highlighting and promoting the region's next and current sporting stars while covering the many different local sports on offer.
