Poll: Community Newspaper Revival

Josh from Ellerslie

With the shutdown of community newspapers like Central Leader, Western Leader and Eastern Leader, many suburbs have lost a trusted source of local updates, neighbourhood stories and small-business promotion. We are exploring scope of rebranding existing ethnic community newspaper into a broader community newspaper to fill this gap and bring back true local news for everyone — Kiwi, migrant and multicultural communities together. We would love to hear your thoughts: Do you feel the disappearance of community newspapers has affected local connection and access to information? Would you support the launch of a renewed, community-focused newspaper — including by reading it, sharing local stories or encouraging local businesses to advertise? Your feedback will help us assess whether the community wants this back.
