Local News Headlines

Nicola our News Director is everything Sunshine Coast- quite literally! She was born at Nambour Hospital, attended school here, and is a UniSC alumni.

Nic, spent a lot of her childhood hanging out at Caloundra Rollerdrome (90s fluro outfits were a must). “It was a time when the Big Pineapple was the ultimate destination for fun, Australia Zoo was still the Beerwah Reptile and Fauna Park, and many birthdays were celebrated at the Super Bee at Tanawha.”

Nicola began working in our street team back in 2005 while studying journalism at USC, and a few years later she scored a job in the newsroom. “The rest is history!”

“I’m frequently asked how I manage to get up at 3am every morning, and, while I won’t lie and say it’s easy, the pay-off is I love my job and the team I work with.  Every day we get to connect with people, tell their stories, keep them informed about important local issues and breaking news. It is extremely rewarding.”
