Hey friends!

We’re pumped to let you know we’ve teamed up with News Sport Network, which is part of the nation’s leading media company, News Corp Australia, in a partnership designed to help graduates work in sports media!

Who are News Sport Australia and what do they do?

News Sport Network is part of News Corp Australia (NCA) the parent company to some of Australia’s largest media brands, like The Australian, news.com.au and Herald Sun. News Sport Network’s brands include CODE Sports, SuperCoach and KommunityTV. You would remember our interview with journalist Daniel Cherny, who writes for CODE Sports.

News Sport Network is now our exclusive national media partner, and we’ll be working closely to share new work opportunities for Members, plus helping brands including CODE Sports, SuperCoach, and Kommunity TV identify future talent.

Members, this means you’ll be seeing a lot more of News Sport Network and its related brands around the traps, on webinars, podcasts, at meetups, and on our members-only job board. Expect closer contact to select staff at News Sport Network, whose experience, insights and advice will be influential for navigating careers in the media.

Having access to a major sports media employer like News Sport Network is incredible. We’ve already seen remarkable success from Members, with graduates securing over 600 roles at places like the AFL, Cricket Australia, and Tennis Australia. This collaboration with News Sport Network will speed up the trajectory for many young journos who may be dreaming of sitting in the press box at Brisbane 2032, FIFA World Cup, or any favourite sport.

It’s not just us who are excited, here’s what NCA had to say:
