NOOSA Today continues its commitment to the local community to provide the best possible publication in Noosa with a move to full gloss this week.
The move follows Noosa Today’s recently improved local news content, focusing on local news, local issues and local people from a team of quality and dedicated reporters.
Gloss will provide readers with a better looking and easier to read publication, but with the continued commitment to quality local news, while advertisers will have the added benefit of connecting with customers through gloss pages, enabling them to present their business and products in the best possible printed form.
Noosa Today managing director Paul Thomas said the move signalled Star News Group’s commitment to strengthening Noosa’s local newspaper and providing the community with the best publication possible.
“We are committed to producing the best publication for Noosa residents, using local sales staff, local journalists and local printers.
“I hope our readers will continue to guide and shape our pages as we move forward with this positive change.
“Real Estate Lifestyle will now become part of the total Noosa Today experience within the one book, making it easier for readers and advertisers to connect.
“We’ve also taken the opportunity to refresh the papers look, taking advantage of the new gloss stock and stitched and trim format.
“We have had great feedback since we took ownership of the paper from readers and advertisers about the improvements so far and the increased letters to the editor and community engagement is anecdotal evidence of this improved and relevant news focus”.
Senior Journalist Jonathon Howard said the editorial team had already hit the ground running.
“Noosa residents are some of the most engaged and active campaigners I have ever worked with,” he said.
“I hope they recognise this as a positive move forward and I welcome their feedback and continued support.”
Long-time Noosa Today sales agent Karen Tatters, said her clients were excited about the change to gloss.
“The change will give us a fresh and vibrant point of difference, the complete package, with local news, entertainment, dining, sport and real estate all in one,” she said.
“Once again we’ve listened to our readers and advertisers and this move ensures Noosa Today is a premium local newspaper.”
