The West Wimmera Advocate is independently owned and operated.
With the support of our staff (onsite and offsite) we are still going to print each week. π
( In fact we gave up the usual Easter break to keep you informed.)
We have a whole bunch of plans ready if our circumstances change to ensure our HARD COPY edition (that so many people look forward to) is here as long as possible.
A 90 year tradition is not going to be broken easily by COVID-19. We are dealing with advertising bruising by being creative in how we think and respond while supporting local businesses. We are trying to reach out to readers more than ever and hope to weather the storm.
If you have any ideas to help us (our favourite ideas are NEWS) or if you want to sign up for a subscription (newspapers are so nice to read, feel, smell, collect and repurpose) please get in touch [email protected]
Yes, we are aware of the grants program soon to be opened. However, due to our size we are not holding our breath and are instead rolling up our sleeves
