About Fascia-Shepparton

Our Journey

Founded in 2017, Fascia-Shepparton is a dedicated news platform with a mission to inform and engage the community of Shepparton and its surrounding areas. We believe that accessible, reliable, and unbiased news is essential for fostering a connected and informed society.

Our Story

The idea for Fascia-Shepparton arose from the recognition of a growing digital landscape where local news often takes a back seat to national and international headlines. We set out to create a space that would bring the vibrant community of Shepparton together, celebrating its unique stories, challenges, and achievements. Since our launch, we’ve strived to become the go-to source for local news, events, and insights.

Milestones and Achievements:

  • In 2019, we achieved a significant milestone by reaching over 50,000 monthly readers, solidifying our position as a leading local news source.
  • We’ve successfully covered various community events, from the annual Shepparton Festival to local sports tournaments, bringing these experiences to life for those unable to attend.
  • In 2021, we introduced an interactive map feature, allowing users to explore local businesses and services with ease.

Our Purpose and Values

Purpose: To provide a digital hub for the Shepparton community, offering timely, relevant, and accurate news, while encouraging active participation and dialogue.

Core Values:

Mission: To empower the community of Shepparton by delivering news that matters, fostering local connections, and promoting transparency.

Filling an Information Gap

The internet has transformed how we consume news, but there was a distinct lack of dedicated, hyper-local content. Many national media outlets lacked the resources to cover regional stories comprehensively, leaving a gap in the market for a reliable, community-focused news source. Fascia-Shepparton fills this void by providing in-depth coverage of local affairs, business, sports, and lifestyle.

Reliable Information and Accuracy

We take pride in our commitment to journalistic integrity. Our team follows strict editorial guidelines to ensure:

  • Fact-Checking: Every story undergoes rigorous fact-checking to verify information.
  • Source Transparency: We disclose our sources to maintain transparency and accountability.
  • Regular Updates: Our articles are updated regularly to reflect the latest developments, ensuring readers access the most current information.
