PROVIDING QUALITY INDEPENDENT JOURNALISM

By Katrina Hughes, CBAA

4ZZZ HAS BEEN PROVIDING INDEPENDENT NEWS AND CURRENT AFFAIRS SINCE ITS INCEPTION AS A STUDENT RADIO STATION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND IN 1975. THE NEWSROOM IS ENTIRELY VOLUNTEER-BASED AND PROVIDES WHY IS DELIVERING NEWS ON THE HOUR EACH WEEKDAY, PLUS DEDICATED ONE-HOUR NEWS AND CURRENT-AFFAIRS IMPORTANT TO 4ZZZ? PROGRAM The newsroom has been a part CBX CAUGHT UP WITH THE STATION’S NEWS CO-COORDINATOR, JACK MCDONNELL, TO FIND of 4ZZZ since the station began and we need to keep that tradition OUT MORE. of providing quality alternative news to our audience. As a news team, we need to make sure we are hitting our mission statement of connecting and amplifying the voices of our local communities. On one hand, it is crucial for these community groups to feel as if they have a voice and their issues and stories matter in the news. At the same time, it is important to tell those stories so our wider audience is made aware of these groups and why they are not being heard in the mainstream news cycle. WHO BRINGS THE NEWS TO LIFE AT THE STATION? The 4ZZZ newsroom is staffed by a group of volunteers who are committed to providing quality independent journalism. Our news interns are in a three-month program with around three to five interns working each day. The team finds, edits, writes and sub-edits our news bulletins from 8am-11am with six stories each hour. The bulletin is made up of two stories each of local, national and international news.

4ZZZ is passionate about Brisbane and its community. Whether it's music, arts, LGBTQIA+, First Nations or local issues, 4ZZZ endeavour to empower local communities through community broadcasting. Tune into 102.1FM or listen to their digital channel Zed Digital on your DAB radio, both available to stream online

, ON TUESDAY, THURSDAY, AND SATURDAY.

We also have news volunteers who create packages for our news and current affairs program Line times a week, with our reporters creating long form reports on important issues. This award- winning program demonstrates how important independent journalism is to the community. It also gives the volunteers freedom to chase their own stories and develop their journalistic muscles. WHAT TRAINING DO YOU PROVIDE TO THE TEAM? We provide an induction night where we walk through the station values and a basic course on writing for radio. After that, some of the older interns train the new ones and show them the ropes. We then provide extra training on an ad hoc basis as well as regular rounds of feedback. In the newsroom, our biggest challenge is establishing that compass of what is an appropriate story for our audience. It’s only through experience and understanding the station’s culture that they develop this thought process. It is our job to expose them to this and pass on the importance of supporting community groups and their

issues so that they understand the valuable stories for our communities. In a perfect world, and with more funding, we’d love to have a paid news coordinator to act as an editor and provide consistent support to our interns. This would allow the news team to grow and create more projects to expand the reach of our news. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE OTHER COMMUNITY BROADCASTERS CREATING NEWS? If I were to pass on any advice to a station, it would be to make sure you are 100% certain of your station’s values and culture. From there, you can really start to pinpoint why news matters to you and your station. At 4ZZZ, we focus on making sure our culture is present in our news while still being a valuable and professional source of news. We always tell our new volunteers we operate the same as any traditional news service with the same journalistic principles applying, but the content we choose to cover will be different.
