Advertise with the Community News
Get your business in front of the whole Central Coast rural community from the Hawkesbury to Wyong rivers — in print and online. Our publication is a double-sided, A4 magazine-style local paper of around 24 pages, with 3,000 copies distributed throughout the district each edition, plus an online presence that keeps your ad working long after the print run.
Advertising with us is more than marketing. The support of our advertisers is what keeps a genuinely local, independent community paper alive — so every booking helps fund a service the whole district relies on.
How It Works
Booking an advert is simple. Get in touch by phone or email to let us know what you’re after, and we’ll guide you through the options and confirm pricing.
To make an enquiry:
- Phone: 0412 669 649
- Email: enquiries@cnews1.com.au
When you contact us, please send through a brief outlining what you’d like to advertise, along with any images, logos, text or other details you want included. The more you can tell us up front, the faster we can turn your ad around.
Please also let us know:
- Whether you’d like your ad in colour or black & white
- The size you’re after (see the size guide below)
- Whether this is a new ad or a repeat of an existing one
We Can Design It For You
Don’t have artwork ready? No problem. Our team can handle the copywriting and graphic design for your advert, so you don’t need to supply finished art. Just send us your details, any images you’d like used, and a rough idea of what you want to say — and we’ll create a professional ad for you to approve before it goes to print.
