120 YEARS OF THE BORDER MAIL: What it means to our readers

Transcript

00:00 What does the Border Mail mean to you and what do you like about it?

00:02 It means a lot to me. I don't always buy it

00:07 Monday and Tuesday but I love to get it the rest of the week and particularly

00:12 Saturday

00:13 and I just find I've been here a long time. I'm interested in the local news

00:20 I'm interested in, you know, there's probably

00:24 quite a few people that I would know in the border

00:27 and what they're doing, different businesses they're opening up.

00:31 I have a delivered of the morning, so it's the first thing I pick up

00:34 and the first news I read of the day.

00:37 Most of the memories of when they did great editorials on sporting legends

00:43 in the industry I was in

00:46 that was always great. I used to have a little bit of an input if

00:51 somebody rang me from the Border Mail, one of the journos, I could fill them in on sport.

00:56 I like that I can generally find out what's going on in the area.

01:00 It's very local, I like that as well.

01:04 It's easy to read, it's easy to find

01:08 which sections are going to apply to my interest.

01:11 I learn a lot about the local community,

01:14 a lot of the local businesses, a lot of places

01:18 where to go. Sometimes I see people I've met or know

01:23 in there which is pretty cool and they've got a very

01:27 exhaustive sports section which I'm really interested in.

01:31 My nephew plays for Albury in the football so

01:35 there's just a lot of information, it's very interesting

01:39 and people really care about the community and everyone loves to read it

01:42 and it's a great paper.
