Community Newspaper Association of Victoria
Representing Community Owned Newspapers
Roundabout
March 2015
Congratulations to CNAV!
2015 is going to be big year for CNAV
for a variety of reasons. Not the least
of which will be our 10th year and
our tenth annual conference. CNAV’s
committee is keen to acknowledge
our past and our past key personnel
during the course of this year – we
want to promote and acknowledge the
establishment, growth, success and
hard work that has gone into a whole
decade of CNAV.
CNAV is inviting articles of any
memorable highlight, achievement,
award, incident, conference or memory you have that you would like to
share. Space will be found! CNAV is
also researching some of the original
CNAV members who may be interested in this initiative too, but if you
can suggest anyone else it would be
greatly appreciated.
The first of these is on page 3...
...thanks to Jo Vondra.
And membership secretary Helen Smith has come up with an early
2006-2007 CNAV membership list
– and it’s pleasing that so many of
these are still members. About Town

Before CNAV
How did CNAV come to be?
That answer seems to be rooted in
Gippsland. The beginnings of a push
came from a small rural communities conference held in Omeo in October 2003. This was one of a series
of annual conferences convened by
the Small Rural Communities Health
Consortium – 6 small hospitals across
the state that undertook a role in supporting the economic, social and environmental future of their communities. At the Omeo conference there
was a panel on community newspapers. A panel on community newspapers was included in the conference
because the conference organisers
could see more and more community
newspapers or newsletters emerging
in small towns all across Gippsland
and because they felt that these newspapers were able to play an important
role in their communities and in the
region. In fact, they found there were
at least 35 community newspapers or
newsletters operating across Gippsland.
At the conference, one of the
community newspaper presenters,
Mick Bourke, raised the concept of a
state-wide association for community
newspapers.
From this spark, a Community
Newspapers and Community Journalism Conference was held at Monash
University, Churchill on the 19th and
20th of November 2004. It was put
together by a working party consisting
of Mick Bourke (community newspaper producer), Margaret Guthrie
(community association representative), Neil Smith (Rural Transaction
Centre support officer), Dr Keith
Wilson (Monash University historian
Churchill Campus), Justin Kohlman
(Manager, Marketing and Public Affairs, Monash University, Churchill
Campus) and Elizabeth Hart (Monash
University journalism coordinator).
The conference keynote speaker
was award winning Melbourne Age
journalist Melissa Fyfe, who discussed the challenges mainstream
media faced in covering regional and
local issues. Melissa stressed the importance of journalists linking with
local communities to gain insights beyond the simple reporting of events.
Thanking Melissa for her presence at
the conference, Mick Bourke praised
her account of the positive relationship that could occur between the
large commercial newspapers and
the local community newspapers.
“We can work together,” Mick said.
“Melissa’s overview of some of her
articles also shows that community
news is not the sole domain of our
community newspapers.” He said the
threat to community newspapers had
been a common theme in speeches
and commentary during the previous night’s Awards presentations, and
producers faced challenges not just
from large regional newspapers but in
the quest for volunteers and for financial viability.
Presenters at subsequent CNAV
conference sessions included Rachel
Dawkins (Department of Sustainability and Environment, Maffra), Gill
Heal (Bass Coast Shire), Rosa McManamey (PhD student University of
Tasmania), David Schmitt (Monash
University historian), Ian Needham
(corporate public relations), and Mary
Jo Fortuna (Waranga News).
At the completion of the conference, Neil Smith spoke of the
achievements during the course of
the day. Participants were unanimous
in their support for an association for
community newspapers. As a result,
more than 25 people expressed interest in being part of a working party to
establish an association. Forty people
requested that they be kept informed
of progress towards formation of such
an association.
A number of meetings were
held to move the concept into reality.
Then came an historic meeting on the
16th of July 2005 at Borderlands (the
same venue that CNAV’s committee
still meets) that had as its purpose to decide whether to proceed with the
formation of an association of community newspapers in Victoria.
Attendees were listed as Neil
Smith, Marg Guthrie, Anne Walters, Helen Smith, Kellie Asmussen,
Walter Villagonzalo, Bob Holschier,
Mary Jo Fontana, Gill Heal and Mick
Bourke.
A guest speaker was Jacques
Boulet from Borderlands who spoke
on his experiences with communities,
and in particular, community newspapers.
The background which led to
this meeting was outlined then an
open discussion occurred on the worth
of an association of community newspapers. Much of this conversation
started with a querying whether there
was a need for such an association.
However, after much discussion, it
was agreed unanimously that an association of community newspapers be
formed. An election of an inaugural
committee followed. Bob Holschier,
Mary Jo Fortuna, Anne Walters, Walter Villagonzalo, Helen Smith, Kellie
Asmussen and Mick Bourke.
Immediately after the formation
meeting, CNAV’s first meeting was
held at which the initial office bearers
were elected:
• President: Mick Bourke
• Vice President: Bob Holschier
• Secretary: Anne Walters
• Public Officer: Anne Walters
• Treasurer: Helen Smith
The meeting discussed a draft
constitution document that had previously been distributed, with amendments to the name of the proposed association from Victorian Community
Newspaper Association (VCNA) to
Community Newspaper Association
of Victoria (CNAV). The mission was
amended to read, “We will actively
work with our members to enhance
the capacity and standing of community newspapers to enable them to
fully realise their role in their communities.” The definition of community
newspaper was agreed ‘to be one that
is owned by its community’.
The reason for the change from
VCNA to CNAV was that early discussions hoped for a similar organisation in each state. Therefore, if that
occurred, each state’s name would
start with Community Newspaper
Association of [insert state]. For
example, South Australia would be
CNASA.
Those were the first meetings –
and as they say, the rest is history!
Thanks to Helen Smith and Mick
Bourke for material and guidance in
the preparation of this article. Both
have a long history of involvement
with CNAV - and both are current
committee members!
Reflections on CNAV
After nearly forty years in main stream
journalism, I was initially puzzled,
confused and daunted by the concept
of a community newspaper.
Back in 200l I was asked by the
Lorne community to put together what
I considered to be a basic newssheet –
the town was going through a period of
instability and there were considerable
problems with the newly created Surf
Coast Shire, the local hospital was in
trouble, and large scale development
was seemingly out of control. Lorne
was in a dramatic period of change and
it was trying hard to find directions.
Getting the Lorne Independent
off the ground was a relatively easy
process, in that some very talented and
enthusiastic people put up their hands
to help, and with most towns folk understanding the importance of a publication, advertising was healthy from
the start.
The editorial policy and direction,
however, was another matter. We published monthly, and therefore could not
concentrate on ‘newsy’ items; content
had to satisfy what was happening in
the community, but most of all it had to
keep within the interests and demands
of a month-long publishing cycle. We
learnt a lot in those days, mostly by
trial and error.
In 2006, I got a telephone call
from Mick Bourke, who was in Lorne
to visit a friend, and he explained that
he published a ‘community newspaper’ in Gippsland; an association of
‘community newspapers’ has just been
formed and would I be interested to
know more?
I attended my first Community
Newspapers Association of Victoria conference in Ballarat that year
and suddenly I realised that what we
were doing in Lorne was certainly not
unique and community newspapers
were springing up all over the state.
Elected to the CNAV executive
committee, I was given the task of organising the 2007 conference at Lorne.
It was CNAV’s second annual conference.
Our team found the nitty-gritty
of the organisational side of things
relatively easy, but what about a key-
note speaker, forums, and workshops?
What would delegates be looking for in
terms of information and inspiration?
After a long lunch, it so happened that I literally bumped into Eric
Beecher at our local supermarket. I had
known Eric very casually over the years
(at one stage he was editor in chief of
The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald) and as he had now embarked on
his entrepreneurial publishing career,
it suddenly occurred that I should ask
him to be keynote speaker.
Eric was delighted and, as we
were all to subsequently learn, he had
most definite ideas on this new publishing phenomena called community
newspapers. He was a most inspirational speaker!
Considering our fractious relationship with the Surf Coast Shire
council, I had some hesitation to invite the mayor to open the conference.
Again, I was surprised at her enthusiasm and we subsequently became firm
friends.
Most retirees in Lorne had had
a previous career, and as luck would
have it our Lorne Independent team
was able to offer workshops in marketing and salesmanship, journalism and
advice on some of the heady demands
of the real world.
With the help and invaluable input
from CNAV committee members (after
all they had all done it once before and
more than anyone, understood the concept of community newspapers better
than we did), the conference opened at
Lorne’s historic Grand Pacific Hotel in
glorious Spring weather and about 70
keen and enthusiastic people from all
over Victoria attended.
Apart from a short, vicious spat between the mayor
and our own councillor (immediately salved by the MC), the
conference was a brilliant success.
Because of the curious and
individual nature of community
newspapers, delegates were as
varied as their publications. A
feature of the conference was a
display of newspapers from all
around the State and, boy, was
that an eye-opener.
Firm friendships were established, there was a meaningful and certainly fruitful exchange of ideas and I
know that each of our team came away
from the conference greatly invigorated.
Interestingly, our own media
status changed almost immediately.
Even though we still had challenges
in dealing with the Surf Coast Shire,
and especially the many governmentappointed agencies that had so much
say in our little coast town, there was
now a marked improvement in our relationships. Open hostility had been
replaced by mutual respect.
It was also quickly realised that
both state and federal politicians started to take an interest in us (and CNAV
in general) and it came as no surprise
that Spring Street was actually monitoring us and other community and
commercial media on which direction
the political wind was blowing.
On reflection, the Lorne conference was somewhat naive and unsophisticated by the standards of those
staged by CNAV in more recent years.
New production and printing methods,
more and sophisticated IT knowledge,
a more professional approach to community newspapers …all the stuff that
makes your head spin.
You should never, ever stop learning.
Jo Vondra.

Independent and is a former

February CNAV Committee meeting
Meeting in any of the book-lined
rooms of Borderlands is probably a
very appropriate setting for the CNAV
committee. Words, words, words
– but very productive words in the
CNAV situation. This meeting saw
Noojee Neerim District News join the
CNAV fold taking us to a membership
of 73 – 71 full members and 2 associate members. In addition, CNAV has
had 5 membership enquiries in recent
lp
He ded
nee
months – 2 rural and 3 metropolitan
(see the separate article on the benefits of CNAV membership).
A report from CNAV advertising broker Bill Penrose showed that
$11,700 worth of advertising had
been placed in CNAV member papers
from mid-December through to the
beginning of February – with January being a very lean month. It was
mentioned by a committee member
Are you seeing govt. ads
by-passing your paper?
CNAV needs to know of
state government advertising campaigns that are
by-passing CNAV members. This is an on-going
issue and will remain that
way until we have members emailing the advertisements in on a regular
basis. These 3 sighted in
commercial press outlets
in the Gippsland region
during February are examples of the material needed for discussions with
the advertisement placers.
Email any examples you
see to info@cnav.org.au
that advertisements for pine scale
were printed in the commercial press
in some parts of Victoria at this time.
Bill did pass on a reminder about
Tearsheets – they must be provided
as proof of publication for a paper to
receive payment. Just the page torn
out (hence the tearsheet name!) and
posted or emailed to Bill is all that is
necessary.
The 2015 conference venue for
the 10th year of CNAV celebration is
close to being announced – the idea
of holding the conference in CNAV’s
roots in Gippsland has proven impractical and an exciting alternative
has been visited. Next Roundabout
should have the details – but in the
meantime do keep the weekend of
October 11th free to be part of the
CNAV 10th anniversary celebrations.
In the meantime, policy development is proceeding with another three
draft policies circulated, discussed
and approved. A full list of policies
developed will be published shortly
as the publishers of community newspapers may like access to them.
The next committee meeting is
planned for Saturday the 11th of April
at Borderlands.
Traf News in the news
Working on a community owned newspaper is a privileged position. Apart
from immediately placing one in the
centre of the local community and
its goings-on, it brings one in contact
with community newspapers across the
state. Some bigger, some smaller, some
similar, some very different - but all
providing a local voice and documenting the highs, lows and recording the
contemporary history of a local community. An important task? Or not?
“It’s been a labour of love, and
a real commitment to the commu-
nity by the people involved. Without that there’s no question it would
not have succeeded,” says Traf News
editor Mick Bourke in a recent article
published in the commercial Latrobe
Valley Express. Their colour tabloid
comes out monthly (but with a January
break), and 2,825 free copies are circulated to a readership that is calculated
at 7,000.

The advantage of community focus... Warren Buffett
“Few can deny the industry smarts that
Warren Buffett’s got. Chairman and
CEO of Berskhire Hathaway, owner
of nearly 30 dailies, he knows newspapers. What’s more, he’s confident and
encouraged about the importance and
profitability of the industry, especially
in smaller communities.”
The newspaper thoughts of Warren Buffett are outlined in an on-line
article on Recruitment Advisor (The
Digital Publisher’s Guide to Real Revenue). And “he knows that smaller
towns have the advantage of community focus. And you should know
that, too. If you believe it, and make a
commitment to digging in to give your
neighbours something they can’t get
anywhere else, your newspaper will
gain, or regain, the sort of relevance
that a big-city paper could only read
about.”

“Small newspapers can be innovative too”
More change is coming.
And you need to change to survive.
A blog by Justin Paprocki grabbed attention because of its heading… Small
newspapers can be innovative too.
Justin begins, “Over the last
month or so, I’ve been talking to editors at small newspapers (and I mean
small — some with 2,000 circulation
or so) about what they’re doing online.
I’ve met some very interesting people,
who, despite small staffs and limited
resources, are doing some things online
that larger papers haven’t even thought
of.”
https://justinpaprocki.wordpress.
com/2015/03/03/small-newspaperscan-be-innovative-too/
Looking further into this blog
Justin writes, “I come from a community newspaper background. My parents are journalists, getting their start
at smaller dailies and weeklies. My
first journalism job was covering high
school sports at my small-town weekly.”
And, “More change is coming.
And you need to change to survive.
A lot of community newspapers have
been insulated from the worst of the
downturn because they’re the only
game in town. They’re what people
go to because they’ve always gone to
them.”
Then quoting a book by Penelope Muse Abernathy, author of Saving
Community Journalism, he writes,
“The average age of print readers is
60. The average age of online readers
is about 35. The audience that wants a
print publication is aging. The younger
audience isn’t automatically going to
pick up a newspaper when they get older, as what has traditionally happened.
The Internet is a better delivery system.
They are not going to abandon it.”
And finally, “Community news
will always exist. Entities reporting
community news will also always exist. It’s up to the existing newspapers
to decide if they are going to be the
ones doing it.”

The Pinnacle says farewell...
The CNAV committee received a copy
of the latest publication from French
Island – The Pinnacle. With the copy
was a letter:
Re: Last issue of The Pinnacle
magazine
Please find enclosed for the CNAV
a copy of the March 2015 issue of The
Pinnacle, French Island’s magazine.
As the cover indicates, that was
the final issue of the magazine. We
mentioned in Issue 51 last September
and at the CNAV Conference last October that we would finish up in June
2016, but unfortunately circumstances
have changed, dictating an earlier finish. Roberta and I have retired from
our positions as Editor (me), and layout and advertising person (Roberta),
and no one has offered to take over the
reins.
Producing the magazine has
been a very rewarding experience for
us. Over the past 13 years the magazine has gone from a black-and-white
school newsletter, stapled in the corner, to an award-winning full-colour,
professionally printed magazine,
showcasing French Island’s activities,
natural beauty and diversity - and as
we always say, all the more impressive,
given it is run by a small band of volunteers operating ‘off the grid’.
We have thoroughly enjoyed the
journey, we have expanded
our skills and met some wonderfully talented people along
the way, but unfortunately we
have come to the end of our
road as far as The Pinnacle is
concerned.
We appreciate all your
efforts organising those wonderfully rewarding annual
conferences; we enjoyed our
participation, and came away
from them each year full of
information and inspiration.
On behalf of ourselves and
our contributors, we thank
you for the awards The Pinnacle has received. It was
indeed an honour to receive
recognition from our peers
for all the hard work we put
in.
Fay Gordes.
It was a collective touch of sadness that committee members felt on
receipt of the letter. Although preempted during 2014, it is the finality of
a last issue when the real impact is felt.
Perhaps, and let’s hope, that’s the case
with the French Islanders who have
been served so well by The Pinnacle
over many years. Maybe the looming
hole left by The Pinnacle’s closure will
provoke something… it seems that the
more successful a community newspaper is, the more daunting and intimidating the work involved in its production
is viewed. And The Pinnacle has been
an impressive and successful publication for a long time.
The Pinnacle was often mentioned at CNAV committee meetings
because the editor of Lorne’s community newspaper Jo Vondra would, meeting after meeting, either pop a copy
on the table or have some interesting
snippet of information about it. Jo was
an unashamed fan in those days, and
his enthusiasm was infectious. Since
then the Pinnacle has been a regular presence at conferences, and there
was a well-remembered time when the
CNAV committee ferried across to the
island for a regional meeting and the
weather left us fearful we were going
to be French Island residents for at
least a few days.
Congratulations to The Pinnacle
for serving the French Island community so well and for so long.

Anzac
“Keep up Anzac Tradition,” MLC
urged at an Anzac ceremony at Murchison 1965. “The Anzacs had set off
a memory that has lasted 50 years and
which I think will last another fifty,”
Mr Michael Clarke MLC said at the
Murchison Anzac service last Sunday
afternoon. This quote was originally
reported in the Rushworth Chronicle
and is reprised by the Waranga News
as the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day
draws close.
Another fifty years on and that
prediction has proved to be spot on!
And now, as the big anniversary is on
the horizon, we may not have the ranks
of Anzac veterans any longer but community newspapers across Victoria are
marking the occasion with coverage.
Localised Anzac stories have already
appeared in many community newspapers already. The Winchelsea Star
featuring locals off to a dawn service at
Gallipoli is one such example.

towns," was one of the quotes, and
"One of the things I think we can do is
look at how we distribute government
services back to regional communities
using this network of stores.”
The article then picked up the
Chewton Post Office as an example – it
has been serving the Chewton community since 1879! Have any community
newspapers picked up this story?

European wasps seem to be a topic
across many parts of Victoria at present.
They were certainly a huge
menace around the food vans and restaurants during the just concluded Castlemaine State Festival! This issue was
covered in Winchesea Star’s latest edition with some good reference sources.
With the scourge of Ice being screamed
from government sources and media of
all forms, is it an issue within the communities that boast community newspapers too?

One of the advantages of the Facebook presence is that information
about issues such as these can be
shared! Joining the Facebook group
is by invitation – CNAV members
should email Marina Cook
marinacook2105@gmail.com
If you would like to access this
group using your personal email then simply email Marina your personal email address and the newspaper you are from and she will send an
invitation to that address. The more
people we have, the more content
and information we can share. If you
would like more than one member
from your paper to be involved – just
email the extra address so an invitation can be arranged.

Why become a CNAV member?
The easy response is why not? But
looking seriously at the question you
note that CNAV is a whole network of
community owned newspapers. Membership of CNAV costs individual community papers only $30 a year.
Members of CNAV remain independent organisations, but by joining
CNAV they:
• gain access to the annual CNAV
conference with its speakers, workshops and information sharing,
• can enter the annual CNAV awards,
• receive constant updates of what
is happening in the community
newspaper world via the e-mailed
Roundabout,
• can take advantage of unlimited
access to the CNAV website,
• can become an observer of, or a
participant in, the CNAV FaceBook page discussions and threads
(a group that is closed to nonmembers),
• can use the CNAV logo in their
publications,
• are eligible to have members elected to the CNAV committee,
• and can access the services of the
CNAV Broker at no cost.
Financially, the broker access
is the big advantage. By registering
publication details with the broker, the
state government advertising purchasing agencies (Mitchell and Partners and
Zenith Optimedia) have access to them
and CNAV members are in the mix for
targeted advertising campaigns. There
is no charge for this service for CNAV
members. Non-members don’t access
such exposure on the Broker’s site. All
state government advertising for community owned newspapers is directed
through the CNAV Broker and if state
government advertising were to be offered to non-member papers a percentage fee for the broker’s services service
will be charged (N.B. still discussing
this with solicitor).
CNAV is currently in its tenth
year and now has 73 members. 29 of
our current members have had continuous membership since 2007.
Annual conferences have been
held in Ballarat (2006), Lorne (2007),
Castlemaine (2008), Kinglake/Tool-
angi (2009), Warragul (2010), Geelong
(2011), Nagambie (2012), Frankston
(2013) and Caroline Springs (2014).
Since 2006 the annual conferences
have attracted a range of high profile
keynote speakers, hosted a series of
workshops relevant to the organisation, administration and production
of community owned newspapers,
held many open microphone sessions
and facilitated networking opportunities. In conjunction with conferences
the annual CNAV Awards have been
conducted with changing teams of independent judges. The overall standard of community newspaper output
has increased noticeably during the 10
years of CNAV’s existence as members
have taken advantage of the opportunities CNAV offers.
Whilst CNAV membership is a
decision for each independent paper
we would encourage all community
newspapers to consider joining CNAV
for the above reasons, and also to increase the voice CNAV has when negotiating with all levels of government
and government agencies. Each member makes CNAV stronger!
Congratulations to
The Core...
Fantastic to see the Harcourt Core
reach its first anniversary - 12 editions
out in print with the promise of many
more to come. A terrific publication
that certainly justifies the obvious pride
in editor Robyn Miller’s “From the Editor’s Desk.”
Fairfax cuts
‘We need local journalists’: communities plead for their papers is a Crikey.
com article by Myriam Robin (March
17). This is in response to the recently
announced Fairfax “rationalisation”
that is to take place.
Apparently journalists will report
local news across multi-media, as well
as be trained to write headlines, captions and fact-boxes. An earlier Crikey
account quoted details of an advertised
vacancy for a reporter – a reporter
should be required to typically write
“six stories a day, two leads, two down
pagers and two briefs”, while ensuring
all copy is “error free” and published
immediately to the web, and taking and
archiving images for future usage.
What’s news?
This Fairfax feature appeared on
March 19th - it shows great diversity as
the front page articles go more “local”.
Could this be something for CNAV
to consider - a monthly collection or
some such?
