Internships

Newsroom 

Calling all aspiring journalists! Brisbane’s oldest FM radio station, 4ZZZ wants YOU to join our newsroom with our Zedlines Internship Program!

Zedlines is our weekday news bulletin at 8am, 9am, 10am and 11am, from Monday through to Friday.

This is a wonderful opportunity for people studying Journalism at uni (although we don’t limit it to this - please apply if you’re keen) to learn the ropes of a newsroom, bulletin writing and a great gateway to the rest of 4ZZZ!

We’ll be accepting applications in August 2025 for the next intake in September 2025

Training

4ZZZ Training programs are open to everyone in the community, however popular training programs are prioritised toward 4ZZZ subscribers & volunteers.

4ZZZ runs regular in-house announcer training sessions which equip trainees with the skills to run their very own 4ZZZ program.

We also run sessions oriented to youth, First Nations and the general public at various times throughout the year.

Other training courses/sessions are held on an ad-hoc basis, focusing on various aspects of community media and helping build useful skill sets.
