National Radio News


National Radio News is an independent national news service for the community broadcasting sector of Australia. It is produced by Charles Sturt University in a partnership with the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia and supported by the Community Broadcasting Foundation.
National Radio News bulletins are produced from a newsroom based at radio station 2MCE on the Bathurst campus of Charles Sturt University. Professional journalists work alongside students drawn from Charles Sturt's to deliver news bulletins to over 1.5 million listeners a week across Australia. National Radio News was founded in 1997, and was officially launched by veteran broadcast and journalist George Negus on July 16, 1997.
NRN broadcasts across Australia, to every state and territory, to regional and metropolitan areas, which features independent news, see your local community station for the full bulletins.

History

Development of National Radio News was led by former 2MCE-FM Manager Ian Stanistreet OAM in 1997. 2MCE at Charles Sturt University and 2NUR at the University of Newcastle formed a joint venture to deliver the news service.
In 1998, 2MCE and 2NUR jointly received the prestigious Tony Staley Award for Excellence in Community Broadcasting in recognition of their work launching NRN.
2NUR withdrew from the consortium in 2000, focusing on local news for Newcastle and the Hunter region. 2MCE and Charles Sturt University continued operating National Radio News, partnering with the CBAA to distribute the service to community radio stations through the Community Radio Network.
