National Radio News (NRN)

National Radio News (NRN) is the national news service for the community radio sector, located on the Bathurst campus of Charles Sturt University. Overseen by a News Director, student journalists drawn from the Bachelor of Communication work alongside professional journalists to deliver news bulletins broadcast to over 1.5 million listeners a week across Australia.

NRN is supported by the Community Broadcasting Foundation and the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia. NRN is an independent and valued news service for the community broadcasting sector, built on the principles of democracy, independence and access.

The hands-on experience offered to students develops their skills in finding the stories that matter to modern Australian audiences, sourcing talent, producing and editing interviews, writing copy, and reading the news.

Communication graduates with work integrated learning experience at National Radio News are highly sought after in newsrooms across the country.
