SBS Launches Inclusive Podcast Series for News Accessibility

SBS has recently launched a new News for All initiative to make news more accessible to English learners and people with disabilities. Their commercial broadcast network recently launched a daily English-language five-minute news summary, “News in English.” This program is uniquely suited to address the needs of these communities. This groundbreaking new podcast is released on multiple podcasting platforms, making it easier than ever to stay in the know with all of the news.

Their popular “News in English” podcast provides chill, fun, super-easy-to-follow news summaries. That provides valuable context and helps English learners get a better understanding of current events. Through the deliberate unpacking of complex subjects into easy-to-digest bites, SBS hopes to encourage a greater understanding and excitement about our work. The podcast serves as a valuable resource for those looking to enhance their language skills while staying informed about global affairs.

SBS helps produce their On the Money wrap, which focuses on finance and business news from a specialized perspective. You can read their reporting next to their “News in English.” SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves is your host for this daily ten-minute podcast. He’s been providing excellent updates on what’s happening in the markets and economy. This fresh, fun format gives listeners a fast-paced way to get a complete picture of what’s happening in the business world, empowering them to make smart financial choices.

These two podcasts are a great example of SBS’s dedication to inclusivity, making sure that life-saving information is accessible to all audiences. The decision to create these accessible news formats aligns with the organization’s mission to provide quality journalism that meets the needs of all Australians.

Listeners can find both “News in English” and “On the Money” on their favorite podcast apps, allowing for convenient access to timely information. This flexibility accommodates people of all schedules and learning preferences, making the concept of everyone having access to the news they need to thrive a reality.
