Welcome to Fairfax Community Newspapers Online.

FCNonline.com.au is the Web site for Fairfax Community Newspapers, publishers of community newspapers and specialty publications in New South Wales and Victoria.

Our community newspapers date back to 1865. The Dandenong Journal, The Williamstown Advertiser and The Express-Telegraph (Bacchus Marsh and Melton editions) all have roots more than 100 years old.

The 28 community publications frequently win national awards for excellence in journalism, design, and appeal. They tell you all about your neighborhood - your schools, your taxes, your local sports, weddings, engagements, obituaries and police news. And they write about and photograph you and your neighbors.

From the General Manager, John Stafford

It is a pleasure for me to welcome you to the group of outstanding people who make up the Fairfax Community Newspapers team.

Fairfax Community Newspapers can boast a fast growing stable of Australia's leading community newspapers. It embraces a diversity of activities including publishing and printing. As such we engage a wide cross section of talents, experience and resources.

The company's operations are spread throughout the diverse and developing regions of Sydney's Metropolitan areas - Western, South Western and Southern areas. It also has an ever widening coverage of Melbourne's Metropolitan area.

Our staff are drawn from many areas, yet share their ideas and expertise for a common purpose, bridging the gaps that regionalism might otherwise create.

Management and staff all contribute to the preservation of that indefinable spirit that permeates our activities. The emphasis, first and foremost is on quality and customer service, both internally and externally.

Our involvement and sponsorship of major community festivals throughout Melbourne and Sydney, allows Fairfax Community Newspapers to increase and maintain a high company profile within the community.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT IS
"To deliver quality products, provide excellent customer service while meeting the expectations of our shareholders, clients, readers and staff."
