Who are we? We’re here for you

WELCOME to the first edition of the Broken Hill Times, we’d like to thank you for reading and your support.

We’re confident we’ll show you the value of our in-depth, local news, and it’s a privilege and an honour to bring it to you.

“Local newspapers play a vital role in connecting communities, providing essential information, and reporting the stories that matter most to the people they serve,” said Ross Lanyon, managing

director of ENG Media.

“Broken Hill has a rich history, and we believe it deserves a strong, independent newspaper to reflect the vibrancy and resilience of its community.”

The Broken Hill Times is produced by a dedicated and experienced team of local reporters, as well as creative, advertising, and admin staff. That are supported by a

family-owned company with four generations under their belt in regional media.

Our goal is to bring communities the key information in order to stay connected and have a voice.

We know the role a local newspaper plays in supporting a community and the impacts of news voids.

“ENG Media has been a key player in regional media and is known for its commitment to the communities each publication serves,” said Mr Lanyon.

The team at Broken Hill Times wants to hear from you.

Got something you think is newsworthy? A celebration or achievement, something isn’t quite right, a great picture; We want to hear from you – news@bhtimes.com.au.
