Dubbo’s locallyowned media outlet AUGUST 5-11, 2021 | LOCALLY OWNED & INDEPENDENT | FREE!

AUGUST 6 is Jeans for Genes Day and, along with Dubbo dachshund Mr Chips, we’re urging you to don your denims and help raise awareness about the fact that one in every 20 children face a birth defect or genetic disease, like cancer, cystic fibrosis or life-threatening metabolic disorders. We snapped this relaxing pic of Mr Chips and friend-in-jeans checking out Dubbo Photo News’ “Support Local Food Directory”. Read more about our initiative below and inside this week.

WE’RE LOCAL and we’re first to support local EDITORIAL COMMENT DESPITE Dubbo escaping the harsh lockdown restrictions that have brought many of our capital cities shuddering to a halt, many of our local businesses are also struggling and we want to help. Dubbo Photo News is the only

locally-owned media outlet in the city so we’re in this with you – if you’re hurting, so are we. Over the past two weeks we’ve been running a combined newspaper and social media campaign to encourage local residents to support restaurants either by dining in, or ordering takeaway food – and don’t for-

get, you only have until the end of August to use the state government’s Dine and Discover vouchers if you haven’t already done so. Although our newspaper is

free, we would not exist without advertising support from our local business community. Every day we are out and about talking to local business owners who know they need to advertise but struggle in tough times. With this in mind, we made the bold move to approach Menulog

asking them to come on board and support our town. We are so pleased they have agreed. Each month Menulog will sponsor a column written by Dubbo Photo News, featuring a Menulog restaurant partner.

Stay tuned! And buy local!
