Our News, Your Voice: Standing tall against the media crisis

Murray Bridge News is an independent news organisation owned and operated by my family, here in the Murraylands.

To continue sharing your voices, we need your support.

Independent journalism is at a crossroads.

While big media outlets are replaced by AI-generated content and rushed reporting, local newsrooms like ours are the “green shoots” providing the verified, nuanced and local truth that our community deserves.

From May 3-8, we will be asking you to help us stay vibrant and independent.

Over six days – as part of a national campaign by the Local and Independent News Association – we will be reaching out to you, our community, seeking donations to help keep issues like public transport and housing, our councils and state MPs in the spotlight.

As an independent news organisation, we operate outside the influence of government or corporate interests, and we need your help to continue this important work.

We rely on community support to exist, and to keep critical public interest journalism free for all and not hidden behind a paywall.

We understand that times are tough for many in our community right now, so we ask that if you have capacity to give, please give what you can and consider a small monthly donation to keep us going for the long term.

Thank you for your continued support.
