ABOUT PSN

Welcome to the website of Perth Suburban Newspapers, previously known as Perth Independent Newspapers.

We are are group of privately owned and operated suburban newspapers in the Perth (Western Australia) metropolitan area.

Our papers are free weeklies delivered to all homes and businesses in their respective areas. As the CAB audit figures show, we have a higher penetration of household letter box deliveries than our opposition in the same area.

Perth Suburban Newspapers are independent of any national or multi national media organisations; our editorial content is not influenced by any vested interests. Our newspapers are owned and operated by West Australians who live and work in their  circulation areas. They have their fingers on the pulse of local issues as they happen. We pride ourselves on this independent approach rather than promoting a generic "look" based on style rather than content.

Because of this difference, we have very high, loyal readership within our distribution boundaries. This high loyal readership is delivered directly to advertisers in a credible environment.

We value our readers' opinion and devote a lot of space to "letters to the editor". This is most evident when large developments threaten to affect  people's amenity and lifestyle. The correspondence is vigorous and reflects the investigative nature of our journalists and the level of interest from our readers.

We believe that diversity of opinion and diversity of ideas, helps make for a healthy society. Suburban newspapers are increasingly becoming important to people who want to know what is happening in their own back yards. With globalised media dominating most forms of information, combined with Australia's media laws about to shrink the number of diverse voices available to the public, independent, local, accurate news is becoming a rarity.

Support your local independent suburban newspaper and keep diversity of opinion alive and reap the benefits for your business.
