Cootamundra Herald

[1] The Herald website carries syndicated non-local copy with occasional government media releases referring to local issues.

Following the purchase of the masthead in 2019 by Australian Community Media, the Herald office which had existed for 144 years in the main street was closed and local staff were forced to work part-time from home.

[10] More recently it was published twice weekly (Wednesday and Friday) both on-line and as hard copy until 17 March 2020, when the printed version was suspended, initially for three months, and then stopped altogether.

However a more likely reason is that Australian Community Media could not make the paper generate sufficient profit to support head office overheads.

In 1928, shortly after being renamed the Cootamundra Daily News, the paper was purchased from its proprietor, William John Bright (c. 1886 – c. 1 April 1966),[11] by the Herald, and discontinued.
