SBS has launched a new daily five-minute news wrap that was created specifically for English learners and people with disabilities. We hope this new effort will make important news more digestible and accessible to a wider audience. Our daily news wrap, “News in English,” is now regularly produced as a podcast. Listeners can subscribe on all their favorite podcast platforms to stay up-to-date on all the latest news!
Their popular “News in English” podcast is an excellent resource for intermediate English-language learners to develop their vocabulary and listening skills. It’s the perfect way to stay informed on the go! Episodes are around five minutes in length. This format provides a huge value because it’s truly for anyone short on time or who has a hard time connecting with more in-depth news coverage. SBS knows first-hand the importance of making news inclusive and accessible. Further, they are committed to serving each and every one of their community’s members.
SBS produces an award-winning, globally-recognized, daily, ten-minute finance and business news wrap, known as “On the Money.” This podcast complements their “News in English” podcast for deep, daily coverage. Presented by SBS Finance Editor Ricardo Gonçalves, this bi-weekly podcast brings you expert analysis and important news from the world of finance. The comedic, ten-minute format allows them to explore pretty deeply into the ins and outs of the business world. It’s just long enough to hold the attention of distracted listeners.
Both podcasts are in keeping with SBS’s larger commitment to deliver high-quality, contextual news coverage on a wide range of topics. Listeners can find these podcasts and more in their favorite podcast app. You can explore more of SBS’s news podcasts from sbs.com.au/news/listen. This platform reflects SBS’s ongoing commitment to making news accessible to everyone, particularly those who may have different learning needs or require additional support.
SBS enhances its service delivery by offering custom news wraps. Beyond increasing diversity and representation, this creative initiative advances gender equality in the media ecosystem. The “News in English” and “On the Money” podcasts exemplify how media organizations can adapt to serve diverse audiences effectively.
