And a little bit about our history.....

In mid 2001, a group of experienced Brisbane journalists saw the need for a regular community paper for those who lived near, or worked in, Brisbane’s city heart. They launched The Independent in August that year, and are now proud to claim that no other community newspaper comes close in providing quality, relevant community news to both city workers and those who live in the CBD, Spring Hill, Fortitude Valley, New Farm, Teneriffe, Newstead, Bowen Hills, Kangaroo Point and South Bank.

They are justly proud of the strong support the paper has garnered from community, business and political leaders, as outlined in the testimonials to be found on the advertising link in this net version of the paper.

It might sound a little old-fashioned, but those journalists wanted to produce a community newspaper that provided just that – news for the local community it served. They did not want The Independent to be a paper covering a mass of northern suburbs, with only limited news of interest to the quickly growing inner-suburbs. Nor did they want it to be a city-based paper focusing more and more narrowly on the young office worker.

That philosophy has seen The Independent become a must-read for local residents, businesspeople and city workers.

And when a paper is being read for its well-researched, topical articles, that’s good news for advertisers too.

Add to that the paper’s very competitive advertising rates and its coverage of the CBD workforce as well as those who live, work and play in the city centre and the Urban Renewal growth spots that surround it, and it all adds up to The Independent representing the perfect advertising vehicle.
