The local news subscriptions coming soon to the newspaper’s website, inverelltimes.com.au, will offer unrestricted around-the-clock online access to all of the local news, sport, opinion and community information produced by the Inverell Time’s team of North West New England-based journalists led by editor Mary Sinanidis.
Full website access will include access to the latest national news and sport, plus lifestyle and travel updates, as well as the option to receive breaking news alerts and regular e-newsletters direct to your inbox.
“We are Inverell’s go-to news source, and have been for 143 years. Over that time our journalism has proven its essential role in the life of our city and the region,” Inverell Times editor Mary Sinanidis said.
“With more and more of our readers connecting with us online, the introduction of our local news subscriptions will allow us to boost our online journalism to meet the modern demands of the communities we serve.”
The launch date and details of subscription offers and prices will be announced in coming weeks.

“Through our new subscriptions, we will seek to foster greater community support for our local journalism which we know is deeply valued by our audiences for its essential role in keeping Inverell informed, entertained and connected,” Sinanidis said.
“The tremendous growth of our online audience in recent years shows the value our community sees in our journalism. By subscribing for online access, readers will be helping Inverell continue its mission to deliver the local journalism that the North West trusts.”
The refresh last year of inverelltimes.com.au paved the way for the introduction of subscriptions.
“Our new site delivers a better reader experience and convenient access to the latest local news via your smartphone, tablet and desktop,” Sinanidis said.
Inverell Times is part of Fairfax Media’s Australian Community Media (ACM) regional, rural and suburban publishing business - a network of hundreds of newspapers and websites stretching into every state and territory.
Local news subscriptions for digital access are being introduced at ACM websites in Victoria and Tasmania and across NSW following the successful launch of subscriptions at local news websites in south-west NSW.
- The Inverell Times was established on June 12, 1875 by Thomas Harland, a former school teacher, and Colin Ross. Kate Bond was proprietor of the paper for eight years after the death of her husband, William Henry Bond, in 1895. It absorbed the Inverell Argus in 1925.
