Fairfax Media is at
the heart of conversations
that matter.
Our independent journalism and content keeps people informed

Every day thousands of our reporters connect millions of people with our
news and media business. They perform their jobs with independence,
integrity and ingenuity.
All of this is possible because our audience, our customers, are at the
centre of everything we do. And our advertisers know it.
Every day Fairfax becomes a stronger company. We are a more agile,
more focused, more digitally-centric media business.
Fairfax is ready for today and more prepared than ever for tomorrow
as we grow and extend our media core into a broadly based services
business – spanning marketing, property, data, entertainment and

Every moment of the day we deliver quality independent journalism
and content to our large–scale, highly–engaged audiences.
The core of what we do – high–quality journalism and content – is
stronger than ever.

We run our news business on a 24/7 digital–first basis, where the
production of a physical newspaper is just part of the process, not the
entire process.
Our strategy ensures our premium and often exclusive audiences
have the information they want, when they want it.
Through our extraordinary transformation, our people have
embraced change, new technology and work practices to meet our
audiences’ needs.
We’re lean, agile and clear–sighted about our future. Fairfax is ready

• MAJOR DAILY REGIONAL MASTHEADS
Fairfax Regional
As part of Fairfax’s Australian Community Media division, our
regional mastheads have a dynamic and powerful reach across
regional Australia, home to 7.7 million Australians (34%)*.
Trust and credibility are at the heart of our local mastheads, with
many serving their communities for over 100 years. Today’s
sophisticated mix of print, digital, apps and mobile enables our
mastheads to be the key communication point in times of fire and
flood crisis as well as the pivotal daily focus for our local residents’
news and business offers.

5.7 million Australians in regional areas will read a newspaper
each week. Our audiences spend as much in supermarkets as
metropolitan residents and are big spenders for items such as
electrical goods. Some 43% of all car buyers live in regional centres
and readers of regional papers ‘feel more positive’ about a store
or business that advertises in their local paper (54%), outstripping
local TV (24%) and local radio (26%). 77% are more likely to visit a
nearby retailer in response to a print ad than if they heard a similar
message on TV or the radio #.
With more than 125 digital websites supporting 160 print
mastheads, Fairfax regional assets deliver a one–stop advertising
solution to those wanting to reach a committed and informed
regional audience.
Fairfax Regional Media is also able to offer group advertising buys
across some mastheads owned by other regional publishers in order
to ensure clients have a one–stop experience reaching Australian
audiences. You may also wish to reach agricultural and community
audiences to saturate your reach.

Specialist Rural
Rural Australians are a very different audience compared to metro
and regional (town) audiences. The physical nature and location of
rural Australians – ie working outdoors from dawn to dusk, affects
every aspect of their lives. Media habits in particular are significantly
affected and advertisers need to understand how to reach this
60
valuable audience effectively.
This technology savvy group of determined hardworking Australians
are often isolated and crave communication. Connecting with them
and developing brand loyalties is not hard when the right mix of
communications is used.
Rural Australians have business and consumer needs unlike any
other market and offer advertisers the opportunity to increase
market share for a small percentage of total campaign costs.

• MACQUARIE RADIO NETWORK – TALK
The Essence of Talk
Talk radio can be risky business – like trying to trap
mercury in your hand. Yet the Macquarie Radio Network
attempts to do just that and so much more. On any
given day the debate may include an interview with a
jailed people smuggler; what makes tennis dads barking
mad; a tooled–up police raid on the home of a contract
killer or even what colour crocs a bloke should wear to
the opera.
Sometimes talk’s just information: is the freeway at a
standstill? Will you need a brolly, or are interest rates on
the rise? It can be an interview with Neil Young or the
Arctic Monkeys. It inspires when a VC winner tells how he
stood up for his mates in the face of withering fire.
68
A rumour or whisper in breakfast can provide a lead
story for the evening news.
But Talk is always about the listeners. They have opinions
they want heard, solutions to offer, wrongs they want
to right. Listeners define us. Our essence is in their
