The paper focuses solely on local news, events and sport. Emphasis is always placed on local news, with a concerted effort to include the goings on of all towns within the readership area. The community is supportive of its local paper, with many contributors, particularly sporting contributors, having their input in the paper each week. Stringers are employed from time to time to ensure even coverage across the region. The focus will continue to be on providing a great variety of smaller news items to appeal to the largest sector of the community.


Based in the two townships of Henty and Holbrook, the recently merged Eastern Riverina Chronicle covers many of the satellite towns in the area, including Culcairn, Walbundrie, Lockhart, The Rock and Urana. Most of the production in these towns is agriculturally based, and many advertising features centre around this, including sowing and harvest features and the all important Henty Machinery Field Days. Although the business sector is quite small in this region, they are close knit communities with an interest in promoting the various community events and attractions their towns have to offer. As this merged paper is the only community paper located between Wagga and Albury, Eastern Riverina Chronicle advertising representatives are starting to tap into those markets, with unlimited advertising potential in many different areas such as real estate, motor vehicles, travelling tradesmen etc.
