Nine today announced an expansion of the Brisbane Times masthead in 2023 in a major investment in local news in South-East Queensland.
As the population surges, with two million people now calling Greater Brisbane home, the masthead will increase its investment into local content, ensuring that the Brisbane Times becomes the home of breaking local news and analysis, featuring a diverse range of voices to reflect the region.
The growth of Brisbane Times will see deeper integration of Nine’s news assets from 9News and Brisbane’s talk station 4BC, as well as continuing to showcase editorial from Nine’s broader publishing assets.
With 621,000 readers per month choosing the Brisbane Times as their go-to source of independent news and analysis, the site is set to provide a news alternative for brands to connect with a valuable Queensland audience.
Tory Maguire, executive editor of The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times and WAToday, said: “South-East Queensland is the fastest growing region in Australia, and with that growth has come a huge demographic shift and an opening in the market for a sensible publication to provide quality and trusted news.
“New investment into the Brisbane Times is a demonstration of our commitment to local news, combining the resources of 9News and 4BC to offer readers and advertisers more content and more advertising opportunities.”
