How to Contact Port Lincoln Times or Find Your Local Newspaper
Updated
Port Lincoln Times provides a Contact page for general enquiries, a Find My Newspaper tool for locating a print edition near you, and a dedicated Editorial Complaints page for feedback about editorial content. All three are reachable from the site's main navigation at portlincolntimes.com.au. The site also publishes its Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, and a Subscription FAQ, which are the right places to check before you write in about a billing, delivery, or privacy matter.
Contacting Port Lincoln Times
The site lists a Contact link in its main navigation, alongside Home, News, Sport, Digital Editions, and Subscribe. Use it for general enquiries — story tips, advertising questions, delivery problems, or requests about the paper itself.
Before you send a message, check whether your question is already answered elsewhere on the site:
| Your question is about | Go here first |
|---|---|
| Billing, plans, or access | Subscription FAQ |
| How your personal data is handled | Privacy Policy |
| What you may or may not do with site content | Terms and Conditions |
| A specific article's accuracy or tone | Editorial Complaints |
| Finding a paper copy near you | Find My Newspaper |
If the FAQ or policy pages don't resolve it, the Contact page is the general fallback.
Submitting an editorial complaint
Complaints about editorial content — accuracy, fairness, or the way a story was handled — have their own channel: the Editorial Complaints page, linked in the site's policy section. This is separate from general contact, which matters because editorial complaints usually follow a defined process rather than landing in a general inbox.
A complaint is easier to act on when it includes:
- The headline and publication date of the item you're complaining about, or its URL.
- The specific passage or claim you're disputing.
- What outcome you're seeking — a correction, a clarification, a right of reply.
- Your contact details, in case the newsroom needs to follow up.
Keep it factual and reference the article directly. Vague complaints about "bias" without pointing to a specific sentence are hard to resolve.
Finding your local newspaper
The Find My Newspaper link in the navigation is the entry point for locating a print edition. This is the tool to use if you want to know where the paper is stocked, or which edition covers your area, rather than reading online.
If Find My Newspaper doesn't cover your situation, the Contact page is the next step — ask directly which edition or distribution point serves your suburb or town.
Reading online instead
If you don't need a physical copy, the site offers two digital routes:
- Digital Editions — the e-paper version of the publication, linked in the main navigation.
- Email Alerts — the site promotes a free registration for getting the latest news delivered to your inbox. The prompt reads "Get the latest news to your email inbox FREE! REGISTER," so an account is required to receive them.
Note that free email alerts and paid subscription access are separate things. The site links to a Subscribe page and a Subscription FAQ, and uses the words "subscribe" and "subscription" in its navigation — but the available material doesn't state prices or what a subscription includes. Check the Subscribe page and FAQ directly for current plans and costs rather than assuming any tier is free.
What the site covers
Knowing the publication's scope helps you route your enquiry correctly. Port Lincoln Times carries News, Sport, Travel, and Entertainment, plus Eyre Magazine, Community News, Competitions, In Business, and Partner Content. Recent items include local sport results and club awards, community notices such as a free pop-up skin clinic and open award nominations, and local history features. If your enquiry is about a community event, a sporting result, or a competition, the relevant section is a better starting point than a general contact message.
