The Daily Advertiser

For more than 150 years, The Daily Advertiser has been trusted by readers right across the Riverina to deliver the news that matters. Pastoralists Auber George Jones and Thomas Darlow founded the paper, initially a bi-weekly known as The Wagga Wagga Advertiser, on Wiradjuri land in 1868. From humble beginnings, The Daily Advertiser has evolved into a multi-platform masthead at the cutting edge of digital media, advocating fiercely for a district far removed from the great centres of population, and from the seat of government. As well as bringing readers news and views on the biggest issues of the day the masthead also plays a vital role in celebrating the triumphs and documenting the tragedies that have left an indelible impression on the Riverina and its people. Wagga is already the largest inland city in NSW, but its population is tipped to grow rapidly to 100,000 by 2040. This growth is fuelled by an increasingly diverse array of industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, education and healthcare. Wagga is proud to be the home of the Army Recruit Training Centre Kapooka and Royal Australian Air Force Base Wagga, as well as a Charles Sturt University campus, the National Art Glass Gallery and the Riverina Conservatorium of Music. It is a great privilege to be the trusted voice of news in such a dynamic and diverse region.
