Dedicated to the memory of late SBS journalist Bridget Munro.
Australia's most trusted news service has announced the launch of its journalism cadetship program for 2025, aimed at cultivating the next generation of Australia's journalistic talent.
SBS is today announcing the launch of the 2025 SBS Journalism Cadetship, a 12-month program designed to develop the skills and experience of journalism graduates and prepare them for exciting and rewarding careers in the profession. From 2025 onwards, the Cadetship will be dedicated to the memory of late SBS News journalist, Bridget Munro.
The SBS Journalism Cadetship offers journalism graduates a unique opportunity to work in a dynamic and diverse environment. Throughout the year, cadets will gain hands-on experience in SBS's cross-platform newsroom in Sydney, as well as placements in Melbourne and Canberra. Cadets will work across a variety of SBS programs including Dateline, Insight, NITV News and current affairs, and SBS multilingual programs, ensuring a comprehensive development experience.
The program acknowledges the best and brightest journalism graduates, giving them an opportunity to kickstart and develop their careers at Australia's most trusted news organisation. Cadets will benefit from the coaching and mentorship of a team of experienced journalists.
In 2025, SBS will offer three cadetship positions, including one identified placement for an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander candidate, culturally and financially supported by NITV (National Indigenous Television).
All successful cadets participate in the same program of training and work experience.
SBS Director of News and Current Affairs, Mandi Wicks, said: We are honoured to dedicate the SBS News and Current Affairs Cadetship to our late colleague and friend, Bridget Munro. Her passion for journalism and mentorship was infectious and has left an indelible mark on SBS. We aim to continue Bridget's legacy through this program.
About Bridget Munro
Bridget Munro, a talented, beloved and highly respected senior news producer at SBS, made a significant contribution to the field of journalism and the SBS community. The dedication of the cadetship in her memory honours her work and commitment to nurturing journalistic talent.
Aged just 34, Bridget Munro passed away suddenly from a short illness in November 2023, leaving behind her husband and two young daughters.
Bridget also left behind a powerful legacy. In the space of a decade, Bridget made a significant contribution to the industry through guiding, coaching and mentoring the next generation of journalists. The role of a daily news producer in a busy newsroom is not often celebrated; it is a role that requires a passion for news, a cool head under pressure and a commitment to make on-air colleagues shine. Bridget had all these qualities and more other people's success meant as much to Bridget as it did her own.
This posthumous honour will inspire journalists in their formative years, and beyond, to make the most of what you have, when you have it. Bridget's contribution to Australian journalism will be measured by her quiet, yet enduring influence.
