To address these challenges, SBS has recently launched several new initiatives to better serve English learners and those with disabilities. In addition, the organization has begun producing a daily five-minute news wrap specifically designed for these audiences. It provides sharp briefings on what’s happening in the world today. This project embodies SBS’s broader commitment to creating smart, clear, engaging news that informs a diverse, global audience.
Along with the daily news wrap, SBS has gone one step further and added a “News in English” podcast. This new podcast is easily accessible on all major podcasting platforms, making it the perfect listen for those looking to catch up while out and about. The “News in English” podcast caters to those who prefer audio content, making news consumption more convenient for various demographics.
SBS knows now, as she did then, just how important financial literacy is. That’s why they offer a daily ten-minute recap of finance and business news, called On The Money. Hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves, this bite-sized explainer segment gives listeners the information they need to navigate and understand Australia’s complex financial world. By tackling relevant, timely topics, “On The Money” arms listeners with important information that can make all the difference in their financial well-being.
The dedicated page for news podcasts on the SBS website, located at https://www.sbs.com.au/news/listen, serves as a centralized hub for all of its audio content. This page includes the “News in English” podcasts. It features daily news wraps and other relevant audio programming. By producing this comprehensive resource, SBS hopes to make it easier to access its news offerings and inspire larger audiences to participate.
The development of these initiatives complements SBS’s charter to provide news, information and entertain people from all walks of life and cultures throughout Australia. By catering to the unique needs of English learners and individuals with disabilities, SBS is fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can engage with current affairs.
