The Weekly Advertiser has been named a finalist for Media Outlet of the Year at the Rural Press Club of Victoria awards.
Other finalists are ABC Gippsland, Loddon Herald, The Courier and Warrnambool Standard.
The Rural Press Club of Victoria, RPCV, host the Rural and Regional Journalism and Photography Awards each year, celebrating the important role local media plays in their communities.
RPCV president Bryce Eishold said there had been some big changes implemented in the awards program since 2023, and early feedback from judges indicated some formidable entries this year.
Winners will be announced at an awards night in Bendigo, continuing the club’s commitment to hosting the awards in regional Victoria.
