Read the full storyHi Everyone,
It’s hard to believe, but Hinchinbrook Life Newspaper has now been serving our community for six months — an incredible milestone that fills us with pride and gratitude.
A huge thank you to Daniel Heggie, our first journalist, who laid the foundation by building strong community connections and getting the paper off the ground.
A big shoutout to Victoria Velton, who has done a fantastic job taking over the editorial reins and driving the paper forward every week.
To Sherie Hensler-Adams, our dedicated Sales Manager — your passion and hard work ensure the paper runs smoothly, from distribution to impressive sales. We truly appreciate you.
Thanks also to Crissy and Ruby at our central office, whose friendly, can-do attitudes make advertising with us seamless, and to our distributors Julian and Lesley for delivering the paper reliably each week.
Most importantly, thank YOU — our readers and advertisers. Your support is the heartbeat of this free community paper, which flies off the stands every week and often leaves demand for more copies.
This month marks a special milestone — our first-ever 40-page edition! This expanded format reflects growing community interest and your ongoing support. With your continued encouragement, we hope to bring you a 40-page paper every week.
As a free newspaper, we rely entirely on local businesses’ support. In return, we encourage readers to support these businesses by engaging with their ads and choosing their products and services. This cycle strengthens our local economy and community.
We’re proud that nearly 90% of our Foundation Advertising Partners have renewed their campaigns — thank you for trusting us from the start. We hope we’ve done you proud!
When you support Hinchinbrook Life, you’re helping to keep four local jobs going and providing a community paper that everyone can enjoy. So, when you’re deciding where to spend your advertising dollars, choosing to advertise with us means you’re supporting your community in a real and meaningful way.
With gratitude,
Rach
