  • Researched timely breaking news stories, focusing on politics, social causes, music, weather, and sport.

  • Made independent editorial decisions determining the newsworthiness and relevance of news content to RTRFM listeners.

  • Produced multiple radio-style news stories under strict time limits to fit into a scripted news bulletin ready for air on the hour.

  • Presented news bulletins confidently on air in an appropriate radio tone to thousands of listeners every Wednesday between 9 am and 12 pm.

  • Adjusted bulletins to deliver news content catered to specific target audiences, such as delivering an LGBTQI+ focused news bulletin for the "All Things Queer" program.

  • Organised stories and information using Google Docs and Google Sheets.
