About the newsroomUpdated 8 September 2026

Newy 87.8 FM is a community radio station and local news service for Newcastle and the Hunter, published by Scrambled Eggs Media Pty Ltd. Newcastle news, first — and right.

How we report

We work from the people who know. Our stories start with primary sources — NSW Police, the Rural Fire Service, Transport for NSW, the Bureau of Meteorology, councils, courts, health services, clubs and the organisations involved — and every story names its sources at the foot of the page.

Other outlets’ reporting is a lead to check, never something we copy. Reader tips are questions to answer, not facts to print.

Where AI helps

Our newsroom uses AI tools to help gather, draft and check stories against their sources around the clock. Stories produced this way carry the byline Newy 87.8 FM Newsroom and say so at the foot of the page. Anything sensitive — deaths, crime involving named people, court matters, children — is reviewed by a person before it is published. A story with a person’s name on it was written by that person.

Corrections

When we get something wrong we fix it quickly and say so. To report an error, use our contact form and include the story’s address. A person reads every message.

Rights and reuse

You are welcome to read, link to and share our stories. Our headlines are available as an RSS feed. Bulk or commercial reuse needs our permission — see the terms of use.
