Delivering community news via the radio

01 May 2020

West Arnhem Regional Council (WARC) are working in conjunction with TEABBA Radio to deliver community news from Gunbalanya regularly each week.
WARC’s Stevie Wurrkgidj, who has been a part of the Youth, Sport and Recreation team for nearly three years, has taken on the role of radio broadcasting and is doing a fantastic job learning about the position and the radio industry.
As part of the regular broadcasting, Stevie is learning to present and engage with the community by delivering news and weather reports and conducting interviews with members of the community.
Along the way, he is being mentored by WARC and TEABBA and will soon have technical training to learn about the special equipment in use.
Members of the community are welcome to call Stevie for song requests or for a shout out mention on 8970 3716.
Stevie is also a budding photographer, and has been facilitating film workshops with the secondary school students in the community.
WARC is very proud of Stevie and his growing list of achievements.
