The Times is proud to announce that Tim Warren will be joining the team from next week.
Tim has joined the team after the departure of Chris Tan.
We thank Chris for his time with us.
We asked Tim to write a profile about himself as his first task, which is detailed below.
Tim will have a new email and phone number soon and we hope that both communities will welcome him with open arms.
Tim said, “I’m a 23-year-old journalist who is delighted to recently join the team at The Cootamundra Times and Twin Town Times in a full-time capacity.
Hailing from the nation’s capital, I’m a proud born and bred Canberran, however am eager to relocate to rural New South Wales and establish myself in the community.
I graduated from the University of Canberra in 2019 with a Bachelor of Communication and Media Degree, majoring in sports journalism.
Although specialising in sports media, storytelling of all forms is something I’ve been extremely passionate about from a young age.
My experience in professional newsrooms range from internships at The Canberra Times and ABC Radio, where I’ve covered stories ranging from local sport, the AFL and NRL, and international championships.
While my writing portfolio is an area I’m incredibly proud of, I also thrive in video production and editing.
I’ve worked on the media production team at Fox Sports Australia covering international T20 Cricket between Australia and Pakistan, while continuing to live-stream local first grade sport as a cameraman on the weekends.
Since 2018, I’ve been a sports reporter for Baseball Australia covering the Australian Baseball League, where I’ve produced match reports, attended press conferences, and controlled the various social media channels.
During my last year of university, I travelled to Europe in a faculty led sports management and media tour, where we completed demanding university courses in Madrid and London, while visiting international sports federations in Switzerland.
Interviewing people and transferring their words onto paper is something I love doing and I can’t wait to get started in the role.
I’m looking forward to getting out in the regional communities of Cootamundra, Harden and other surrounding areas and sharing your stories.
If you see me around town, please don’t hesitate to come up and say hello.
