About Our SAcommunity Media Team
Our volunteers write storytelling articles on community organisations located across the state, collecting news and information through phone or zoom interviews, via emails, our online media form as well as collating stories from media releases and other sources to feature on SAcommunity social media channels and community event calendars.

These storytelling articles act to create awareness, promote and raise the profile of local community organisations. Introducing the activities, events and services provided by organisations for council and library referrals, opportunities for service partnerships, funding and grants and to encourage community participation and connections.

Watch this space as we look forward to continuing to connect again with our eNewsletter soon.
