Scone.com.au is an independent town-based online news service bucking the trend of regional news. While major media outlets are withdrawing from regional news, we are as passionate as ever and growing. Local news has always been important to local people and since 2016 we’ve proved town-based news is stronger than ever with more than 540,000 visitors logging on to read the news of our little town. We are hiring journalists in a market that is sacking them and generating more news for our readers. We are proud to be providing independent town-based news, written by our journalists on the ground for our growing readership.
