Southern Rural Life

Nestled in the heart of Otago, Southern Rural Life has been the region's trusted beacon of news since its humble beginnings over half a century ago. With roots deeply entwined in the rich tapestry of local life, we've grown from a small, dedicated team into a thriving hub of journalism, design, and community spirit. Our passion for storytelling runs as deep as the Clutha River that flows through our city. We are more than just a newspaper; we are your neighbors, your friends, and your champions. We've been there for the milestones - the laughter, the tears, the triumphs, and the challenges. We've shared in the stories of our community, capturing them with words, images, and designs that resonate with our readers. We offer more than just news; we provide a platform where your voice matters. Our classifieds section is a bustling marketplace, where homes are sold, jobs are sought, and local businesses connect with their customers. In our property advertising pages, dreams take flight as families find their forever homes, and farmers expand their operations. Our team of skilled writers, editors, and designers work tirelessly to ensure that every issue is a testament to the spirit of Otago. We are not just a business; we are a part of this community's lifeblood. Our subscriptions don't just grant access to the news; they keep you connected to your neighbors, your history, and your future. Our printing process is a symphony of ink and paper that brings our stories to life in the hands of our readers. It's more than just printing; it's sharing a piece of ourselves with you. Southern Rural Life is not just a newspaper; it's your window into the heart of Otago, your mirror reflecting the vibrant tapestry of local life, and your bridge connecting you to your community.
