WIN’s NSW Director of News, Stella Lauri, has been promoted to Network News Director.

Wollongong-based Lauri, who joined WIN in 1993, will oversee newsroom development and production across 16 newsrooms, with 16 local bulletins and All Australian News.

WIN Network CEO Andrew Lancaster said “Stella’s record in the industry speaks for itself. From the moment she started at WIN in 1993 as a reporter, she has built a reputation as a tireless advocate for the community and a journalist with a strong sense of news value.

“She gained valuable experience as part of the Nine Network where she worked on stories of national and international importance such as the Waterfall train disaster, the Cronulla, Redfern and Macquarie Fields riots and the Bali bombings. She handled her own bureau during this time and has been mentored by some of the most highly respected journalists in the business.

“In what will be a more competitive local news market in regional Australia, Stella is well qualified to take WIN News into the future and deliver the style of strong, relevant half hour local bulletins that WIN News is renowned for.”

“Regional news is incredibly important as it keeps communities informed about what is going on in their backyard and targets issues specifically relevant to their everyday lives,” Lauri said.

WIN News has always been serious about delivering the local stories that matter and having strong ties to the communities it serves. Being able to oversee the direction and delivery of local news to so many communities is both an honour and a challenge and I look forward to embracing the opportunity.”
