The future of your local news is built on a promise I have been keeping for 40 years

Local newsrooms delivered evacuation alerts, fire updates and recovery information as communities faced devastating bushfires and a long rebuilding effort.

  • Managing editor Jackie Meyers reflects on her 40-year career in local journalism, overseeing ACM titles including The Maitland Mercury, Port Macquarie News, and Blue Mountains Gazette across NSW regions.
  • During the Black Summer fires, which raged from Christmas to early 2020, Meyers worked to share emergency updates and warnings supporting residents in the NSW South Coast region where homes were destroyed.
  • Digital publishing technology, including live blogs, allowed Meyers and her team to deliver essential, immediate updates to residents while emphasizing duty to tell stories of people often drowned out by larger media.
  • More than six years later, ACM mastheads continue advocating for readers struggling with aftermath, as some residents have been unable to rebuild due to COVID-19 and soaring material costs.
  • While the media environment has changed, Meyers has modernized her approach to retain the trust and local knowledge that give ACM mastheads their value, continuing to innovate while delivering trusted local news.
