What Is Young Witness?

Updated

Young Witness (youngwitness.com.au) is a local news website serving Young and the surrounding region in New South Wales, Australia. It publishes breaking news, sport, community stories, council coverage, rural affairs, real estate, and events, and it also offers digital editions of its print newspaper plus an archive. It is aimed at residents and anyone tracking local affairs in the Young area.

What the site covers

The homepage presents news across a wide set of categories, so you can go straight to the section you care about:

  • News — general local news, with sub-sections including Arts and Entertainment, Business, Community, Council, Education, Emergency Services, Environment, Events, Health, Infrastructure and Transport, Opinion, People and Lifestyle, Police and Courts, Politics and Government, Regional, Rural, Special Features, Tourism, and Youth.
  • Sport — all local sport, broken down into Bowls, Cricket, Golf, Horse Racing, Motorsport, Netball, Soccer, and Swimming.
  • Community — community-focused stories and notices.
  • Rural — rural and regional coverage.
  • Real estate — property listings and guides, including the North East Property Guide.
  • Events — local event information.

Digital editions and archive

Beyond the rolling news feed, the site provides Digital Editions — digital versions of the paper — along with an Archive for past issues. This is useful if you want the full printed edition rather than individual web articles.

Who it's for

Young Witness suits readers who want local reporting on the Young district: council decisions, courts and police, sport results, community milestones, and rural news. It sits alongside other regional titles listed on the site, such as the Grenfell Record, Cowra Guardian/Canowindra News, Forbes Advocate, Parkes Champion-Post, and Boorowa News.
