SBS has launched a suite of new initiatives to improve its news and emergency coverage to best serve multicultural Australians.
On the Money
One of these initiatives is “On the Money.” This ten minute, daily finance and business news summary – hosted by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves. This new program is designed to keep viewers up to date with clear, concise and thoughtful commentary on financial markets and other trends affecting our economy.
The rollout of “On the Money” is the latest from SBS in its ongoing work to provide New Yorkers with accessible, relevant, and timely financial information. With its brief format, the program provides an efficient and engaging option for professionals on-the-go who want to stay informed without extensive time investment. Gonçalves, who brings extensive experience in finance journalism, guides listeners through the complexities of economic developments in a clear and accessible manner.
In addition to the finance section, SBS has introduced “News in English.” This engaging five-minute daily news wrap was designed specifically for English language learners and persons with disabilities. This initiative seeks to make current events more accessible, providing crucial information in a simplified format that encourages understanding and engagement. This unique program is a testament to SBS’s commitment to equity and education.
Beyond this, SBS has continued to grow its digital ecosystem with the recent launch of a news podcast channel on their website. Available at sbs.com.au/news/listen, the podcasts cover various topics and appeal to a broad audience. SBS publishes these podcasts to iTunes, Stitcher and other major podcast platforms. In this format, listeners can consume breaking news content easily and incorporate it into their daily routine.
These initiatives highlight SBS’s ongoing efforts to adapt to changing media consumption habits while catering to the informational needs of a diverse audience. The combination of finance updates, simplified news formats, and digital accessibility underscores the organization’s commitment to providing comprehensive news coverage.
