Did you know?
The Southern Wire has grown from our launch in September 2025 to one of the fastest-growing local news platforms in Australia – and it's all thanks to you, our wonderful readers.
Every month, our audience continues to grow. In June alone, our website recorded more page views than the population of any single shire we cover. Across social media, our stories reached hundreds of thousands of people. Those figures are backed by verified analytics and audience data.
We are a digital-first news publication; we are members of the industry body LINA and the Press Council. Our publisher is a member of the National Press Club.
What does that mean? Your business will be seen by a huge and growing audience across the Southern Highlands, Southern Tablelands, Wollondilly, Camden and Yass.
If you're looking to build brand awareness, promote an event or attract new customers, we would love to help.
Our advertising rates are extremely affordable – especially if you are used to the cost of print advertising. Our rates increase today, 1 July but for the next seven (7) days any new advertising will be locked in at current rates.
Recent research by the University of Canberra found that the majority of young people under 30 have never bought a printed newspaper, highlighting the growing shift towards digital news.
We have chosen to keep The Southern Wire free for everyone to read. Instead of putting up a paywall, we rely on the generous support of our readers. That means your advertising reaches the largest possible audience.
Get in touch today and let's talk about how we can help your business, brand or profile grow.
Finally, for the budding politicians out there, the State election is coming and we have several bookings already scheduled.
