Auburn Review:

For over 50 years, the Auburn Review Pictorial has been the leading newspaper in this diverse, multi-cultural region of Sydney. First choice for advertisers needing to reach their local community, the Review is the main newspaper serving the Auburn municipal area. A major supporter of community events and sponsors of the Auburn Small Business Awards and the ‘Youth Stage’ and Auburn Council’s Australia Day festivities, the Review is proud of its commitment to the Auburn community. The Review works closely with Auburn Council to support and promote a range of community events, including the Mayor’s Charity Golf Day each June.

Inner West Times:

First published in 1993, the Inner West Times (formerly published as the Cooks River Valley Times) has established itself as a vibrant community newspaper. The distribution area includes part of both Canterbury and Marrickville municipalities and the Inner West Times provides residents with their very own local community voice. The Inner West Times has filled a void in this area, which is surrounded on all sides by larger circulating local publications that struggle to provide sufficient local news coverage for the area. The local community turns each Wednesday to their own local newspaper for news and information, as well as feature sections for local Real Estate, Dining and Entertainment. Local businesses appreciate the support they receive from the Inner West Times, as the media partner in the Canterbury Business Awards. The Inner West Times is an integral part of the local community and is a sponsor of all Canterbury Council’s major promotions, as well as supporting the Earlwood and Croydon Park Festivals, Marrickville’s Cooks River Sustainability and Arts Festival and other local events throughout the year.
