Commercial Radio & Audio has opened applications for the Brian White scholarship for students or recent graduates interested in a career in radio news.

The annual scholarship, named after Australian news talk radio pioneer Brian White, sees finalists given the chance to workshop with radio news professionals from Nine Radio, ARN, NOVA Entertainment and SCA.

One scholarship recipient will receive a paid internship placement at “major metropolitan newsrooms”.

“We are looking for talented and ambitious students or graduates who are passionate about radio news and current affairs reporting so we can help launch their radio career,” said CRA chief commercial officer Jo Dick.

“In the modern media landscape radio is more important than ever as a trusted and local source of news, keeping communities informed and connected.”

Applications are open now, until July 31. The finalist workshop will be held in September.
