Today NewsLocal launches The Canberra Star, a hyperlocal digital news platform providing community news for the nation’s capital.
The Star will deliver news that matters to Canberrans living on both sides of the bridge, from Banks in the south to Taylor in the north as well as Civic in the city’s heart.

However, The Canberra Star will be different from other media outlets in Canberra.
It won’t live in the political bubble and will unashamedly only publish local stories that resonate with the people of Canberra about what’s happening in their community — not what’s happening in Parliament House.

Instead, The Canberra Star will cover a wide range of important community news including crime, development, transport, environment, education and health.
The Canberra Star follows in the footsteps of NewsLocal’s other successful digital-only community websites: The St George Shire Standard, The Illawarra Star and Central Sydney.
As well as news coverage, The Star will also celebrate the lifestyle of the Canberra community writing about food trends at local cafes and restaurants as well as weekend pursuits such as the ski fields, national parks and the nature reserves which make the ACT such a beautiful place to live.
Our Canberra Star reporter Kate Christian has spent over a decade working at community newspapers and is excited to share your stories.
Kate said: “I can’t wait to share the best local news with the people of Canberra and I’m looking forward to hearing from our readers about where we should be turning our attention next.”
NewsLocal Publisher John McGourty said: “It’s long been our ambition to bring our brand of high-quality local news to the people of Canberra and show true commitment to the local community by writing the sorts of stories that reflect their everyday lives, ambitions and concerns.
“Our story selection is based on reader feedback from our other digital-only websites and readers of The Canberra Star get full access to The Daily and Sunday Telegraph website too.
“I’m confident our Canberra readers they will enjoy a new voice in the media landscape of the nation’s capital.”
