Peninsula News moves forward

What's happening with Peninsula News?

Peninsula News is still here and will continue into the future. We are not shutting down.

We have fewer pages at present due to a change in production arrangements, but - with the help of the Peninsula community - we expect to build the newspaper back up to its previous size over time.

A voluntary non-profit community group has owned and operated Peninsula News over the past 21 years, and continues under the leadership of its founding editor Mark Snell.

It will continue with the same editorial policies that have seen it develop an extraordinary level of recognition, appreciation and support over the years: comprehensive and exclusive coverage of news relevant to the Peninsula, encouragement of well-informed discussion of issues affecting our future locally.

Peninsula News is not associated with the Pelican Post, and after a 20-year association no longer has a relationship with Central Coast Newspapers.

Help and support offered

We are appreciative of the many offers of help we have received from the community.

These include help from community organisations such as the Umina Beach Men's Shed, which has generously made and donated news stands, and the Woy Woy Peninsula Lions Club, which is helping with distribution.

We have received offers from individuals, which have included helping with advertising, with graphic design, with distribution and proof-reading. A recent journalism graduate inquired after the possibility of work experience, which we were able to offer.

All help welcomed

Peninsula News is now being researched, written, designed, produced and distributed and advertising raised by volunteers from our not-for-profit community group, The Peninsula's Own News Service Inc, and its supporters.

Although many offers have been made, more help and support is needed, and community involvement is welcomed.

Volunteer opportunities are available in all aspects of the newspaper's production, from news gathering and photography, through to seeking advertising and administration.

Distribution points

Our main distribution points remain as they were previously:

Ettalong: Ettalong Diggers Club, Ettalong Bowling Club and Ettalong IGA.

Umina: Aldi, Woolworths, Coles, Peninsula Office Supplies, Lois Jones Real Estate and the Bourke Rd Store.

Woy Woy: Deep Water Plaza, Peninsula Plaza and Peninsula Leisure Centre.
