yes maybe your right.
If I own that part of the business, I would would find it strange that there huge turnover of staff in that department in the past 2 years. For an branch run by about 8 people, I alway thought it was underrescoured…Maybe not then
But the management of WIN/Nine Regional/NBN/SC/ABC regional newsrooms know that they are the B-league with potentially lots of new talent coming through and then going on to bigger and better things, and manage accordingly.
It’s a bit like soccer outside of Australia and the US, where the lower leagues often harbour young talent for a few years before they move onto the bigger stage, and where some grandees or pensioners go to see out their twilight years.
Here’s two Riverland Updates from last week. They are still using the sponsor opener from the previous graphics package:
absolutely not strange in the slightest. Many regional tv and radio stations are ‘training grounds’ for us Journos who are starting our careersm some might stay for a few months, others a few years.
I agree with others that this is very little to do with a bad working environment specific to WIN or more specifically their Shepparton office.
Regional news is largely staffed by younger reporters who have come from metro areas and have ambition to one day work in their home city. (The journalism graduates without ambition never even set foot in the door). Therefore, most will jump at the opportunity for a promotion, even if it’s something as simple as the same level job with the same pay in a larger market.
Also, because regional newsrooms need to cover areas with smaller populations and advertising revenue is smaller per capita than the metros, the pay offered is essentially minimum wage, for workloads that aren’t small - for example having to fully prepare 2 reports per day, and attend news that doesn’t always happen withing the bounds of a 9-5 job. May graduates find that journalism isn’t the glamorous job they thought it would be and find that they can get more better work for better money in other fields, or like many other 20-somethings find after a couple of years that their chosen industry just isn’t for them.
WIN is currently advertising for a full time presenter on a temporary six month contract. I can only assume this may be for Melissa Russell once she goes on maternity leave. Surprising they don’t utilise their existing on air talent ie Kristy Coulcher/Kate Fotheringham/Jordan Matthews to cover for Mel if that is indeed the vacancy.

they’ve changed the opener image??
WIN also has to update their Synoptic and satellite. they’re so blurry and… SD.

Preferably someone who knows how to use grammar properly. Maybe get a disaffected school teacher? 
Do you still have that Royal Easter Show Seven News Experience video you did a few years ago? You should send it to them!
Just as well I never done that and uploaded it to Youtube 
I don’t think it was Seven…it was the ABC at the Royal Easter Show, and Nine at the Cricket. And no…I don’t think I have it ready at a moment’s notice! 
The kids did find me singing at a Swans game though…one is going to get a detention if he keeps singing it in front of me though.
