Troy Dodds from the Western Weekender on interacting with locals in his Penrith community.
Meet Troy Dodds, the managing editor of Western Weekender.
He tells us about how the paper stays in touch with the locals of Penrith through a text line, involvement in local events and keeping the office doors open for anyone to walk in. We also talk about navigating council or sports controversies when you know the people involved in the scandal.
Evie has a degree in professional communications, where she garnered skills across public relations, journalism, advertising and media. Her key focus was in PR tailored for non profit organisations, an interest honed through a minor in contemporary politics.
At LINA, her focus is on building awareness of hyperlocal independent news publishers, and communicating the impact of local news in communities. Alongside her role at LINA, Evie is a freelance journalist and volunteers at the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre.
