The Advocate

Since 1890 The Advocate has served the North-West and West coasts of Tasmania; a region abound in natural beauty and resources. We cover the West and North-West Tasmania from the major centres of Devonport, Burnie and Ulverstone, through to Circular Head, down the wild West and across to King Island. The Advocate has a proud record of being true to its name; of advocating fearlessly for the Coast and giving residents a voice. Our communities are diverse, encompassing towns supported by farming and mining to cities that have turned to advanced manufacturing while offering growing appeal to visitors. The Advocate has evolved with the region and our talented team of journalists and photographers are committed to accurate, timely and engaging reporting on what matters most. Every day, we share the stories of the people who live here, from celebrating our young sporting talent to exploring the issues that challenge us. Through our trusted storytelling, The Advocate is helping to give our region its sense of identity and building stronger communities.
