Produced by a dedicated team based in Colac, the Colac Herald arrives each Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the district’s most up-to-date and in-depth news and sports reports and advertising that’s a proven winner. A newspaper created for Colac and district by people who make Colac and district their home, the Colac Herald continues a tradition dating back almost 150 years to the launch of the C
olac Observer in 1866. Other newspapers have come and gone during the Colac Herald’s history but the Herald has stood the test of time and proudly continues to serve Colac and district as one of the few truly independent locally owned media outlets remaining in Australia. The Colac Herald is much more than simply words and pictures and has won a string of international, national and state awards, including the Victorian Country Press Association’s Overall Newspaper Excellence Award. The journalism, photography and advertising awards which fill the Herald’s bulging trophy cabinet are proof that the Colac Herald is a shining light in regional Victoria’s media industry and guarantees our readers and advertisers get value for their money. With news stories that focus on issues that matter to Colac and district, sports reports that embrace and acknowledge the achievements of our sportsmen and women, advertising tailored to the market, the region’s best real estate guide and a guaranteed readership, it’s obvious why the Colac Herald is Colac and district’s number one media outlet.
