He was one of New Zealand's leading journalists during the late 20th century, and his magazine "Metro" was the first of its kind in Auckland, NZ, with its campaigning journalism, long opinionated articles, publishing of long letters to the editor in full, no matter the viewpoint, and general celebration of glitz, gossip and conspicuous consumption. It reflected the times of the 1980s and early '90s. Roger was a keen cricket fan and a marathon runner, who also wrote a gossip column called "Felicity Ferret" which could border on the cruel, and it brought him a defamation suite in 1994, costing the magazine $100,000, and heralding the ferret's demise. He was a mentor to many journalists and bravely faced for the last decades of his life the handicaps of Parkinson's disease. In the 2008 Queen's Birthday Honours, he was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for services to journalism.[5] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://notices.nzherald.co.nz/obituaries/nzherald-nz/obituary.aspx?n=warwick-george-roger&pid=190012639 |title=Warwick Roger death notice |date=22 August 2018 |work=New Zealand Herald | accessdate=22 August 2018}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Roger, Warwick}}{{NZ-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |url=http://notices.nzherald.co.nz/obituaries/nzherald-nz/obituary.aspx?n=warwick-george-roger&pid=189993459 |title=Warwick Roger death notice |date=21 August 2018 |work=New Zealand Herald | accessdate=22 August 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Metro magazine founder dies at 72|url= https://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/364369/metro-magazine-founder-dies-at-726 |work=radionz.co.nz|date=18 August 2018|accessdate=18 August 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Metro magazine founder Warwick Roger dies|url= https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12109316 |work=nzherald.co.nz|date=18 August 2018|accessdate=18 August 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web | url=https://www.dpmc.govt.nz/publications/queens-birthday-honours-list-2008| title=The Queen's Birthday Honours List 2008 |date=2 July 2008| publisher=Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet | accessdate=18 August 2018}} 5 : 1945 births|2018 deaths|New Zealand journalists|Officers of the New Zealand Order of Merit|New Zealand editors |
