Countryman is entering an exciting era, expanding its role as the ‘voice of the bush’ in Western Australia.
With the State experiencing a dynamic period of growth, today’s Countryman represents rural and regional Western Australia across all industry sectors and services.
Building on its 122-year foundation as the State’s only Western Australian owned and produced weekly rural publication, Countryman is your link to a market that is rapidly evolving and in need of a vast range of products and services.
People in increasing numbers are heading for the country and the lifestyle it affords. Since 1999, the number of people with an interest in the bush has risen from 20,000 to more than 53,000*. Roy Morgan data shows that during the past two years Countryman readership has grown by 35 percent to 37,000.
Rural and regional life is being transformed by rapid growth in the resources, horticultural and tourism industries and consolidation in the more traditional forms of agribusiness. Countryman is rising to this challenge by offering a more professional, market driven product focused on case-studies and how-to information. To ensure your message reaches these markets Countryman is increasing its focus on rural business development as well as introducing the following initiatives:
