Mia Armitage has been reporting news and current affairs for Community Newsroom at Bay FM in Byron Bay, northern NSW, since mid-2017. With support from the station and the Community Broadcasting Foundation, she is trying to set up a collaborative community newsroom to serve the greater Northern Rivers region and beyond. Mia has fallen in love with the dynamic and immediate nature of radio after previously focusing her energies on writing, where her work has appeared via News Corp, APN, Fairfax and the ABC. She won a CBAA Excellence in Journalism award in 2018 for her first radio feature, Adani frontline: Bowen residents speak out.
