Editor's Note 12 August

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to the 37th issue of Hinchinbrook Life! It’s hard to believe we’ve been producing your free weekly newspaper for over six months now – and what an incredible journey it’s been!

We’re proud to bring back a local newspaper to the region. Our passion shines through in everything we do – from our journalist Victoria out gathering stories and snapping photos, to our sales manager Sherie, who works closely with local businesses to meet their marketing needs. And behind the scenes, our central office team helps bring it all together each week.

For those new to our story, Life Publishing Group is an independent, locally-owned business. We’ve been publishing magazines for nearly 15 years and added weekly newspapers five years ago – right when many printed publications were shutting down, we took the opposite path and grew.

What started as one paper has grown into five weekly mastheads. Our mission is simple: to connect communities, provide a free local voice in print, and give businesses a platform they can be proud of.

Local businesses have been at the heart of this journey from day one. Their support makes it possible for us to deliver this paper to you free each week.

If you’re a business owner, we’d love to see your ad here. You’ll get free design, strong local exposure, and a real sense of pride in supporting something truly local.

And to our readers – take a moment to check out those ads. Shop local, support the businesses that support your newspaper – and be sure to mention where you saw them!

Thank you for your continued support – it means the world.
