Australia’s overseas television service, ABC Asia Pacific, is looking for a journalist in New Delhi with television experience and the capacity to provide reports in English for both News and Current Affairs. ABC Asia Pacific is currently available to 10.2 million homes and more than 200,000 hotel rooms in 41 countries across the Asia-Pacific region. The service is still young and the take-up rate in many countries is impressive. The service has a broad range of general programming.

ABC Asia Pacific news bulletins are compiled in Melbourne specifically for a regional audience with stories from ABC bureaus in Australia and overseas and from the agencies, APTV and Reuters.

In addition, the service has several Current Affairs programmes -
i.e. Asia Focus (also seen on the domestic service) and, for the
past two years, The Editors. Recently the Australian Government
renewed ABC Asia Pacific~Rs contract for a further five years and
consequently the service is planning to expand both its News and
Current Affairs output. It plans more news bulletins, including more
frequent updates, and a new Current Affairs programme, tailored for
the Asia Pacific. Hence the need for an extra correspondent in India
to work out the ABC’s New Delhi Bureau. We are looking at employing
a local journalist with on-air television experience, a high level
of journalistic and television presentation skills and the capacity
to report and analyse in English events and issues in South Asia
objectively for a wider audience. Camera operating skills are also
an asset. Replies to - David Ransom ABC Asia Pacific Tel 612
