Independent suburb publishing
Woolloongabba News makes its own local editorial decisions and is presented under its own publication name. There is no parent consumer brand placed above the masthead.
The same owners operate Hamilton News, West End News, Teneriffe News, Spring Hill News, Ashgrove News, Redland Bay News, Ripley News and Morayfield News. Each publication serves its own suburb or local area.
How the journalism is funded
Revenue can come from display advertising, clearly labelled sponsorships, partner campaigns and paid local-business products. A business does not need to advertise to appear in the directory or to request a factual correction.
Commercial work is identified so readers can distinguish it from independently selected reporting.
The editorial firewall
- Advertisers cannot buy favourable news coverage.
- Editorial headlines and conclusions are not sold.
- Paid work is labelled as advertising, sponsored or partner content.
- Material commercial or ownership conflicts are disclosed in relevant coverage.
- Corrections are assessed on the facts, regardless of commercial relationships.

Coverage involving a business connected through common ownership—including Woolloongabba Real Estate—must be handled with the same sourcing and correction standards as other coverage. The relationship should be disclosed when it is relevant to a reader’s assessment of the story.
