Become a supporterThe Akaroa Mail, ‘The Talk of the Peninsula’ is a small, old-established
(1876), totally independent printed newspaper serving the residents and
visitors to Banks Peninsula, on the eastern side of New Zealand's South Island.
It is published every two weeks, with a current print run of
about 10,000, and is delivered free to all houses on Banks Peninsula, as well
as being available as ‘please take one’ copies at shops, cafes, and accommodation
providers.
By publishing only strictly first-run specially-written (‘exclusive’)
local news and features the newspaper gets tremendous readership and loyal engagement.
In a small geographical area the amount of advertising available is limited. There
are ever-rising costs of printing and distribution. We’d also like to be able
to afford to print more pages and more news and features.
The newspaper is available on subscription for $100 a year
for people living off the Peninsula (outside the free circulation area) - and it
would be really nice if at least some people who get it free could contribute
similarly towards the on-going costs of maintaining its high standards and
independence.
To do that, please select a payment option below.
If you would like to advertise in the newspaper or to
organise a subscription for copies to be posted to you please email michael@akaroamail.co.nz
Thank you very much indeed!
