For the first time in its 69-year history, The Advertiser’s Messenger Community News will have a presence in Gawler, the Barossa Valley and the Clare Valley with the launch of a daily online news site.
The Barossa, Clare & Gawler News will deliver the stories that matter most to residents of the region, which encompasses four councils and about 100 local towns.
It is Messenger’s fourth digital-only masthead, after The Upper Spencer Gulf News and Adelaide Hills News joined The City news site last year. From next week The Port Lincoln News will be added to the stable
All are published by The Advertiser’s community newspaper division, Messenger Community News, and access to read the stories is included as part of a digital subscription to The Advertiser.
The launch recognises the undeniable role the regions play in tourism, food, wine and sport across South Australia.
Journalist and Gawler and Barossa Valley local Jack Hudson has been named editor of the publication.
Jack started his journalism career at the Gawler Bunyip in 2012, specialising in weekend football writing.
In 2016, he moved to Tanunda where he became a sports and community news journalist at the Barossa and Light Herald, while also doing some work in Clare with the Northern Argus. He returned to the Bunyip a year later to cover sport and community news. He joined The Advertiser in 2019 as a digital sports reporter.
“As someone who has grown up in Gawler and the Barossa Valley, I’m excited to be returning home to deliver the latest on the issues that matter to all of us in the community,” he said.
“From celebrating our local heroes and our sports stars, to pursuing the latest across our many councils and helping tell the stories that need to be told, I’m here to help be your voice.
“If you have a story you’d like to share, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.”
