Hope Media launches a new independent news service

Hope 103.2 has launched Sydney’s latest news service with the aim of being a “new, credible, factual and informed news service.”
 
Hope Media CEO Phillip Randall says: “At a time when news services are being scaled back or amalgamated, Hope News began thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters across Sydney.”
 
At the helm is highly experienced broadcast journalist Anita Savage, a former ABC radio and television news reader and national reporter, foreign correspondent, journalist for NINE Network, SKY News, 2UE and 2CH, and the first international anchor on Bloomberg Television in New York.
 
Anita presents half-hourly bulletins through Breakfast with Sam & Duncan, 6am to 9am, and then hourly until noon.
 
Former 7NEWS digital reporter Sarah Wiedersehn is preparing and presenting the afternoon bulletins on the hour.
 
Sarah is also an experienced journalist who has worked in radio, TV and print including Southern Cross Ten in Canberra, Sydney’s 2GB and AAP.

Cadet journalist Jefferson Shaw rounds out the inaugural team after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Communications from Avondale University College on the Central Coast, and undertaking an internship at SCA in Gosford.
 
Hope News director Anita Savage has told radioinfo: “It’s very exciting to be part of such an initiative, giving Sydney’s listeners a credible news alternative. We’re providing the latest news with a greater diversity of voices from trustworthy sources.”
