Publishing guidelines
Articles that we will generally publish include:
- Items relevant to Brimbank from Council, local organisations, businesses and individuals. For businesses, we won’t publish product promotions, but will accept news about expansion, major changes, awards, etc.
- News from schools, clubs and community groups.
- Community service announcements.
- Photos of breaking news, community events or those that promote a positive image of the city, such as the #brimbank and #wearebrimbank pictures on Instagram.
Brimbank Council acknowledges there are reputable media outlets in Brimbank that also publish local news, and we acknowledge the important role they play.
We don’t seek to displace them, but to add to media diversity and provide a platform for public-interest stories that may not otherwise be published.
