New Director of News Sean Power Takes the Reins at Seven Sydney

Sean Power steps into his new role as director of news for Seven Sydney, bringing his wealth of experience from his previous position as executive producer of Sunrise. The transition from Sunrise to 7News Sydney marks a shift in focus towards hyper-local storytelling while maintaining a commitment to community news coverage.

Despite the perceived differences between Sunrise and the evening news segment, Power emphasizes that both programs center around storytelling and community happenings. While Sunrise caters to a national audience, the challenge lies in delving deep into local issues, a task that becomes more manageable with the move to Seven Sydney.

Power’s extensive background in news, including stints in talkback radio, A Current Affair, and 60 Minutes, provides a strong foundation for his return to the news space. Excited to re-immerse himself in the fast-paced world of news reporting, Power looks forward to working alongside the exceptional talent within the Seven newsroom.

One notable addition to the team is Mark Humphries, who joins 7News Sydney to host The 6.57pm News segment, injecting a fresh, humorous take on wrapping up the week’s events. With support from Anthony De Ceglie, Seven’s director of news and current affairs, Humphries’ debut garnered positive feedback, engaging audiences and offering a unique perspective on news and politics.

Moving forward, Power envisions exciting opportunities for 7News to further strengthen its position as a trusted news source. Emphasizing the platform’s role in championing impactful stories and holding those in power accountable, Power highlights the importance of using the news broadcast service to shed light on pressing issues in the community.
