The Islander-Map

The Islander newspaper, in one incarnation or another, has been operating on Kangaroo Island for more than 100 years and continues to be the lifeblood of island life.

Kangaroo Island is larger than many people realise. It’S 155kms long and 55kms wide, and while Kingscote is the main business and retail hub, there are four other main towns – Penneshaw (where the ferry comes in), American River, Parndana and Emu Bay.

The Islander goes into virtually every home on the island and also has a very strong subscriber base along with e-editions.

It’s published weekly and readers often queue to buy it. As the only media across the island, The Islander is a valuable vehicle to keep people in far-flung areas of the island abreast of everything that’s going on.

It has a strong readership for its sport pages, along with community groups, not-for-profits, local Council and government agencies.

The island derives its income in two main areas – farming and agriculture, and tourism and hospitality and we cater to farmers with regular farming pages.

This publication uses a T84 Modular layout.
