- Port Pirie Location
- Base salary $84K to $103K
- Take a lead on breaking stories in regional SA
The Role
From the vines of the Barossa to the opal fields of Coober Pedy, the North and West of South Australia is one of the country's largest and most diverse regions served by a regional ABC bureau.
Reporting to the Editor, News Reporters are vital in bringing the characters and stories of these communities to local and national audiences. No two days in this role are ever the same. One day you could be flying over Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre and reporting on the landscape bursting into life after rain, the next you could be talking to the Prime Minister about his government’s financial support of the Port Pirie smelter. The ways to tell these stories are ever‑evolving; it could be a live cross into TV with overlay you filmed yourself, an online story on Australia’s most trusted news website, a carefully crafted radio package on PM, a short piece in a radio news bulletin you’re presenting live or even an Instagram story.
The size of the team means you have support to pursue stories you’re passionate about, but also ample opportunity to step up and take a lead on breaking stories in the area – of which there are plenty!
The role involves some shift and weekend work.
The Job
You’ll also:
- Create accurate, concise and transparent news content.
- Deliver digital news content, radio news bulletins, Q&A;, interviews and packages.
- Work effectively within the Regional office, and co‑ordinate output with the state and national news desks.
About You
To join this team you will need to be a highly motivated News Reporter with a thorough understanding of issues and events in the region.
You’ll be a self‑driven team player with:
- A passion for creating and consuming news
- Great news sense and analytical skills
- The ability to master all the relevant technology and equipment
- A proven track record of making contacts and finding stories
- Exceptional communication skills
- A current and valid driver’s licence
In line with our focus on diversity and inclusion, applications are strongly encouraged from Indigenous Australians, people from a range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, people with disability and LGBTQIA+ individuals. The ABC also aims to achieve a gender-balanced workforce.
