Lifestyle magazine Local North to launch in Sydney
Local Publishing Co has announced the launch of Local North, a lifestyle magazine focused on Sydney’s north.
The title will be a sister publication to Local East which launched in August 2018 for distribution in Sydney’s east.
The titles cover lifestyle topics including food, restaurants, travel, homes, interiors and design. The print run for each title is 50,000 copies.
Bring on Local North! Since News Ltd’s ‘Manly Daily’ dropped from 5 to 2 issues per week, residences in Newport are very lucky if we receive 1 issue in 4 or 5. Often 2 dozen copies are dropped to the local newsagent (in place of the 2,000 which should be delivered throughout the suburb) and if you arrive there after 7.30 am they’ve already gone. There is no promotion of the online version and unless you come in via the right link, you’re directed to pay-to-subscribe News Ltd access. Heaven knows how they justify their ad rates.
