Creating engaging content across all platforms, including social, digital, TV and radio.
Finding original news and feature stories and cover breaking news.
Producing and presenting news bulletins.
Contributing to planning and commissioning processes to develop and distribute new content ideas to achieve strong reach and engagement with audiences.
Collaborating with colleagues, identifying and developing local content that can be shared with other content teams across the ABC on multiple platforms.
