Kim V. Goldsmith

I’m a journalist, broadcaster, writer, content producer, digital media artist and creative producer based near Dubbo in Central West, New South Wales.

In 2025, I returned to ABC Radio as the full-time breakfast presenter for ABC Western Plains, where I started my radio broadcasting career in the 1990s as a Rural Reporter (1992-1996). While it had been almost 30 years since I sat behind the desk of a radio studio, during that time, I kept my hand in as radio talent and an occasional ‘news of the week’ panelist on ABC Regional Radio (NSW), and used my broadcast media skills planning, producing, and at times moderating public online talks in the regional arts sector.

Having also worked as a freelance journalist since my university days studying agriculture and journalism, I’ve was drawn back to writing for newspapers several times over the years, including time as rural and arts editor and then a contract feature writer and op-ed columnist for Panscott Media’s former publications, Dubbo City News and Dubbo Weekender magazine. In more recent years, I’ve written essays and editorials for Guardian Australia, Mona Magazine, and international arts and culture blogs.

From 1996 to 2025, I ran a regionally-based media and marketing communications and training business based in Central West New South Wales, alongside a interdisciplinary arts practice of 25 years. I have a wide range of experiences in media, issues management, strategic communications, public relations, digital and social media marketing, digital content creation, project management, and more.
