DEAR News Of The Area,
FRIDAY 2 May, and our visit to Port Macquarie brought forth an unexpected surprise in the form of a free masthead!
In an age that has seen the rapid demise of regional newspapers it is refreshing that local news continues to meet the needs of a community that relies on sources other than social media.
The social fabric of our nation is woven through the diverse lives of individuals and organisations and providing an avenue for stories to be shared is an attribute worth encouraging.
Regards,
Allan GIBSON OAM,
