NOOSA Today’s new gloss edition has received a tick of approval from locals and visitors following a change of format last week.
The first gloss edition hit the stands on Thursday 10 July, and the phones and emails have been running hot ever since.
Senior journalist Jonathon Howard said he was overwhelmed with the positive feedback and encouraged residents to get involved.
“I’d like to thank everyone for their kind messages and for their support of Noosa Today,” he said.
“I feel the best newspapers are the ones that engage the most with their local communities, and I’d like to encourage residents to send us their views and news ideas to ensure we continue to cover the issues that matter to you, our readers.”
The publication has also attracted a range of positive comments from visitors to Noosa, who wished they had a local gloss newspaper.
WHAT THEY SAID
I think it’s much more aesthetically pleasing and I’m glad it can still be recycled – I think it’s a job well-done.
– Louise Devenish, of Sunshine Beach (who did not want to be photographed)
Wow – that’s something new. I prefer the glossy as a tourist – easier to read. Looks great.
– Rod Shepherd, Warrnambool, VIC
I wish we had newspapers like that in Melbourne. It looks great, so innovative and something mainstream newspapers could do more.
– Susan Drew, Melbourne, VIC
