NWU FM Front Page Fridays

Front Page Fridays

Front Page Fridays is a high-stakes, fast-paced news and current affairs program that serves as the definitive weekly wrap-up for the NWU community. Produced as a premier joint venture between NWU FM and the School of Communication, the show bridges the gap between professional journalism and the next generation of media leaders.

Hosted and produced by third-year Broadcasting students, the program offers a sophisticated look at the headlines that shaped the last seven days—from campus developments to national discourse. By combining rigorous academic insight with the raw energy of live radio, Front Page Fridays provides a platform for critical analysis, expert interviews, and the stories that truly matter.
