The ABC has announced new roles in 2025 for leading political and public affairs journalists Patricia Karvelas and Greg Jennett.<\/p>\n

As announced earlier this month, Patricia Karvelas is farewelling Radio National after 10 years to take up an expanded role for ABC NEWS across platforms. In addition to presenting\u00a0Q+A<\/em>\u00a0and weekly political wrap\u00a0The Party Room<\/em>, and writing analysis for ABC NEWS online, in the new year she will take over as presenter of\u00a0Afternoon Briefing\u00a0<\/em>each weekday on ABC iview and the ABC NEWS Channel.<\/em><\/p>\n

After presenting\u00a0Afternoon Briefing<\/em>\u00a0for the past three years, Greg Jennett is moving into a senior role in the Northbourne, Canberra newsroom presenting the ACT 7PM News from Sunday to Thursday and conducting Stateline interviews. He will also work with the Canberra Parliament House team on the federal election coverage.<\/p>\n

After a terrific two years in the chair, including his key role in this month\u2019s ACT election coverage, current ACT 7PM presenter James Glenday will be going on to an exciting new project next year. More details of that will be announced in coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Afternoon Briefing,\u00a0<\/em>which Karvelas launched in 2018 and Jennett has led since he returned from the ABC\u2019s Washington Bureau in 2022, continues to go from strength to strength. Its interviews with key decision makers and stakeholders routinely break news and set the agenda on politics and national and global affairs.<\/p>\n

Karvelas will also launch a new ABC NEWS politics podcast,\u00a0Politics Now<\/em>, which will bring the best political analysis to the podcasting space via the ABC Listen app.\u00a0Politics Now<\/em>\u00a0will be daily during the federal election campaign and can publish additional episodes any time major political stories are breaking.<\/p>\n

Patricia Karvelas:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m so excited to be anchoring a daily national affairs and politics program, especially at a time when Australians are seeking not just accountability but explanation of really complex issues.\u00a0Afternoon Briefing<\/em>\u00a0has become appointment viewing and is a key part of the news agenda daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing able to launch a podcast which is fast and responsive and engaging on moving political stories has been my dream. It\u2019s how I consume content and I know there\u2019s a strong desire from our audience for non-appointment content that meets people in their headphones when it suits them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greg Jennett:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve done with Afternoon Briefing these last three years. It has become an accessible place for politicians of all stripes and levels of experience to discuss and debate the issues of the day.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the years I\u2019ve been privileged to report on some of the most remarkable events in the life of our nation. In 2025 I\u2019ll devote my energies to other stories around the nation\u2019s capital, while still being close enough to hear that thrum from the Hill that\u2019s been a constant in my reporting for the last couple of decades or so.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking forward to what comes next.\u201d<\/p>\n

ABC Director, News Justin Stevens:<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cPatricia Karvelas and Greg Jennett are among the best political journalists in the country and will ensure audiences get the most up to date insights and analysis on offer, bringing their huge experience to the biggest stories of the moment, here and overseas.
\n\u201cThey will be integral members of our coverage as we gear up for the next federal election.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
