Editors

Havant Talking News are looking for editors to provide material for our talking newspaper recordings. You would be looking at local newspapers such as The News, Hayling Herald and other local publications. Many articles are available online, so computer skills would be useful.

Our listeners really value the local news and editors play a key role in acting as eyes for our listeners to help them keep up to date with local news and issues.

Training is provided.
