Prasar Bharati (Akashvani, Chennai) Recruitment 2026: Various Part Time Correspondent Vacancies

This role is ideally suited for seasoned journalists with a PG Diploma or Degree in Journalism/Mass Media, or graduates boasting a minimum of two years of journalistic experience. Ideal candidates should possess strong computer literacy, news gathering skills, and be residents within a 10km radius of the respective district headquarters (Pudukottai or Sivaganga). Those seeking flexible, part-time contractual work with India's public service broadcaster will find this opportunity appealing.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those without the requisite journalistic qualifications and experience should not apply. Applicants who do not meet the strict age criteria (24-50 years as of the deadline) or are unwilling to reside in the specified districts will also find this unsuitable.

Working with Akashvani, part of Prasar Bharati, offers significant prestige as India's national public service broadcaster. While this is a part-time contractual position, it provides invaluable experience in government media and local reporting. The role offers a stable average remuneration, but career progression might be limited due to its contractual and part-time nature. It's a solid opportunity for experienced professionals to contribute to public broadcasting at a district level.
