Outback Radio 2WEB and The Western Herald are looking for a Multimedia Content Creator to join our team in Bourke.
This full-time role offers the opportunity to work across radio, digital media, photography and local storytelling, helping share the stories of communities across Far West NSW.
Working across two established regional media outlets, the role will involve producing content that informs, entertains and connects local audiences.
Salary: $60,000 – $65,000 per year
A Great Place to Start a Media Career
Regional media has long been one of the best places to begin a career in broadcasting and journalism.
Working in regional media gives you the chance to develop real skills quickly — from interviewing and storytelling to photography, digital media and radio production.
Instead of specialising in just one area, you’ll gain hands-on experience across multiple platforms while covering stories that genuinely matter to local communities.
For someone starting out in media, it can be an opportunity to build experience and confidence much faster than in larger city organisations.
