National Radio News is an independent national news service for the community broadcasting sector of Australia. It is produced by Charles Sturt University in a partnership with the Community Broadcasting Association of Australia and supported by the Community Broadcasting Foundation.[2]

National Radio News (NRN) bulletins are produced from a newsroom based at radio station 2MCE on the Bathurst campus of Charles Sturt University. Professional journalists work alongside students drawn from Charles Sturt's Bachelor of Communication to deliver news bulletins to over 1.5 million listeners a week across Australia. National Radio News was founded in 1997, and was officially launched by veteran broadcast and journalist George Negus on July 16, 1997.[3]

NRN broadcasts across Australia, to every state and territory, to regional and metropolitan areas, which features independent news, see your local community station for the full bulletins.
