5.7 million Australians in regional areas will read a newspaper each week. Our audiences spend as much in supermarkets as metropolitan residents and are big spenders for items such as electrical goods. Some 43% of all car buyers live in regional centres and readers of regional papers ‘feel more positive’ about a store or business that advertises in their local paper (54%), outstripping local TV (24%) and local radio (26%). 77% are more likely to visit a nearby retailer in response to a print ad than if they heard a similar message on TV or the radio #. With more than 125 digital websites supporting 160 print mastheads, Fairfax regional assets deliver a one–stop advertising solution to those wanting to reach a committed and informed regional audience. Fairfax Regional Media is also able to offer group advertising buys across some mastheads owned by other regional publishers in order to ensure clients have a one–stop experience reaching Australian audiences. You may also wish to reach agricultural and community audiences to saturate your reach.

• AGRICULTURAL MASTHEADS
Agricultural Mastheads A dynamic part of Fairfax’s Australian Community Media division is our large range of agricultural mastheads, websites, events, apps and other rural related products. Rural Australia is evolving at a rapid pace not unlike other sectors of the community. Farmers today employ the latest technologies to remotely harvest crops, scientifically analyse soil, map properties, track cattle, predict and model weather and much, much more. Today’s farmer is a successful, well–educated agribusiness person.

Their average net worth is in excess of $3.4 million and they have 84% equity in their businesses (source: ABARES 2011–12). Farmers also have the same consumer needs as everyone else and for advertisers this offers a unique situation of the business and consumer market in one package. We deliver our agricultural content via FarmOnline as well as our six mastheads across the multiple platforms of print, online and mobile apps. The content is state based and reflects the agricultural industries operating in each. We also produced some of the biggest and most respected agricultural events in the country, including AgQuip and FarmFest.

valuable audience effectively. This technology savvy group of determined hardworking Australians are often isolated and crave communication. Connecting with them and developing brand loyalties is not hard when the right mix of communications is used.

• MACQUARIE RADIO NETWORK – TALK
The Essence of Talk Talk radio can be risky business – like trying to trap mercury in your hand. Yet the Macquarie Radio Network attempts to do just that and so much more. On any given day the debate may include an interview with a jailed people smuggler; what makes tennis dads barking mad; a tooled–up police raid on the home of a contract killer or even what colour crocs a bloke should wear to the opera. Sometimes talk’s just information: is the freeway at a standstill? Will you need a brolly, or are interest rates on the rise? It can be an interview with Neil Young or the Arctic Monkeys. It inspires when a VC winner tells how he stood up for his mates in the face of withering fire.
68
A rumour or whisper in breakfast can provide a lead story for the evening news. But Talk is always about the listeners. They have opinions they want heard, solutions to offer, wrongs they want to right. Listeners define us. Our essence is in their
