NITV News Bulletin

NITV News Bulletin

NITV National News is a program broadcast on Australian satellite and cable channel National Indigenous Television. It airs a 15 minute bulletin at 6.30pm with a repeat at 9.30pm AEST each day, as well as a 5 minute news summary bulletin at various times throughout the evening. In 2009, NITV National News will be extended to a 30 minute bulletin.

NITV National News is entirely staffed by Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander producers, journalists and presenters, including a political correspondent based at the Press Gallery at Parliament House, Canberra. The bulletin covers Indigenous news, current affairs, sport and weather. The studio is located and based at North Ryde in Sydney.

The weekday bulletins are presented by Natalie Ahmat. The political correspondent is Chris Munro. The sports presenter is Lindsay Bassani. More information can be found on the NITV National News website.

The program is directed at Indigenous and non Indigenous viewers, but has found a wide audience among all Australians interested in Indigenous Australian issues, as such topics are rarely covered in the mainstream Australia media.
