The Area News

The Area News – The Voice of Griffith Since 1923 Since 1923, The Area News has stood proudly alongside the people of Griffith, chronicling every triumph, challenge, and moment that has shaped the region. From droughts to floods, and even through the fire that destroyed its own offices, The Area News has never missed a beat — remaining a steadfast source of truth and connection for the community. As irrigation water transformed the edge of the Outback into one of Australia’s richest agricultural regions, The Area News has documented Griffith’s remarkable journey from scrubland to thriving food bowl and multicultural city. Today, areanews.com.au continues that proud tradition — delivering fearless, factual, and community-focused journalism that tells the stories of what has happened, what’s happening, and what’s next for Griffith and the Riverina.
