Presenter US

What's the role?

News24, recently rebranded from Sky News Australia, is owned by News Corp Australia.

After 30 years as an innovator in the news industry, the network has adopted a new brand name and is expanding its world-leading news and commentary digital strategy. As one of the top 10 most viewed English-language news channels in the world on YouTube, this new role is a unique opportunity to join an established news brand with global reach which also has the agility, dynamism and ambition of a startup brand.

As a News24 US Presenter reporting to the Executive Producer, based in the USA, you will be the lead voice and face hosting a daily opinion show tackling major global issues, international politics, and current affairs across News24's broadcast and digital platforms. You bring a sharp editorial vision, high-energy on-screen authority, and the ability to command a fast-paced broadcast environment.

*This is a 2-year contract with the possibility of extension. The role is based in Dallas, Texas. *

Key Responsibilities :

• Drive and anchor a daily flagship opinion show focused on global affairs, international politics, and breaking news, establishing a strong, agenda-setting presence.
• Work closely with your production team and Executive Producer to pitch bold angles, refine show rundowns, and construct compelling monologues that drive ratings and spark debate.
• Conduct sharp, insightful, and fearless interviews with high-profile guests.
• Write and deliver sharp on-air editorial commentary, scripts, and collaborate with the digital producing team.
• Command the studio during live broadcasts, communicating effectively with control room producers, technical directors, and field reporters during high-pressure or breaking news situations.
• Partner with digital teams to adapt key show segments, monologues, and digital-first clips to maximize audience reach across News24’s online platforms.
• Ensure all show content meets News24’s quality control standards, adheres to relevant legal parameters, and strictly complies with broadcasting codes.

Who are you?

• Proven track record as a broadcast television host, anchor, or presenter with extensive experience in live broadcasting.
• Deep, authoritative knowledge of global politics, current affairs, and major world events.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the gravitas to challenge guests from politicians to business leaders and foreign correspondents.
• Strong writing ability, capable of crafting punchy monologues, sharp questions, and engaging script copy under strict deadline pressure.
• Familiarity with newsroom workflows and rundown systems (such as ENPS) is ideal, alongside a strong understanding of control room dynamics.
• Highly adaptable, resilient under live breaking news pressure, and maintaining a collaborative approach with producers and technical crews.
• In-office presence required, with flexibility around working hours to adapt to shifting global news cycles and show demands.
• Thorough knowledge of News24 products, editorial tone, and brand values.
• Strong working knowledge of media law, defamation, and broadcasting codes.
• Must have a very good knowledge of global politics and current affairs, and a good understanding of news events occurring elsewhere in the world.
• Take a hands‑on approach to story selection, research, and script writing with the ability to plan highly viral online segments, react in real‑time to breaking news, and conduct sharp interviews with guests.
• Must be able to work under pressure to meet deadlines, while maintaining a positive attitude.
• Must be willing to learn and adapt to new working practices and contribute to new programs.
• Ability to work independently when required and to carry out assignments that are not part of the day‑to‑day routine.
• Must have extensive on‑camera broadcasting experience, a fearless approach to opinion‑led commentary, and a sophisticated understanding of global news and modern digital publishing strategies.
