SBS has recently launched a new daily five-minute audio news wrap that is specifically designed for English-language learners and people with disabilities. This new initiative is a reflection of the organization’s ongoing efforts to produce news that is more accessible and easier to understand for audiences of all backgrounds.
Roundups
Our daily news wrap delivers quick, easy-to-understand summaries of the day’s most important stories, giving everyone the confidence to stay informed.
For example, SBS publishes all of its original content in English, greatly expanding its potential audience to include all English-speaking Australians. Each day, the network updates its news offerings, ensuring that audiences receive the latest information on significant events. The new daily news wrap complements existing programs and provides an engaging way for learners to improve their language skills while staying informed.
Alongside our daily news wrap, Short Briefs, SBS produces a whole range of fun and informative podcasts. They are all widely available on all of your favorite podcast apps. One of these programs is “News in English,” which goes a step further to act as an audio version of their daily news wrap. At approximately five minutes in length, this podcast is perfect for anyone looking for a short but engaging update on what’s happening in the world today. The podcast format provides a valuable opportunity for listeners to absorb daily and world-changing news while going about their day.
Plus, SBS has a second podcast, “On The Money,” which covers the daily finance and business news. This podcast provides a deeper dive on economic issues that’s roughly ten minutes in length. Hosted by Ricardo Gonçalves, the SBS Finance Editor, this program gives listeners a unique advantage in understanding the financial markets and breaking business news.
By diversifying its content and delivery methods, SBS aims to reach a broader audience and enhance the accessibility of its news services. Weekly news quizzes and a popular daily podcast provide fun ways for young people to engage directly with the news. Customize your level of participation to suit your interests!
