It’s a great read
The Hervey Bay Independent is the region’s favourite community newspaper and a “feel good” read.
The editorial philosophy is focused upon providing a positive reflection of the community it serves in an ‘easy read’ format.
From community and council news to political decisions which impact its residents, the Indy is a showcase of what is great about the Bay.
Editor Scott Rowe has more than 20 years experience as a journalist and has worked for a range of newspapers and award-winning publications around the state.
He is not only committed to ensuring the newspaper remains the publication of choice for readers but that it also continues to present an unbiased and independent voice in an ever-competitive media environment.
“Unlike our competitors the Indy agenda is simply to provide the most comprehensive information and news in which to inform and entertain the widest demographic of the community we can.
“With our thirst for good news stories and shining the spotlight on the unsung heroes of the community, we avoid the fixation others seem to have with saturating the city with doom and gloom.
“Hervey Bay is a fantastic city to live, work and raise children, it has a strong community spirit and diversity of skills and opinions all encased in a unique natural environment.
“The Indy celebrates that diversity of opinion and the people and businesses that make the city unique.
“There is no better place to tell your story than the Independent.
