Western Sydney Publishing Group produces two weekly print newspapers, giving advertisers direct access to western Sydney residents. The Western Weekender covers the Penrith Local Government Area, while Parra News covers the Parramatta and Cumberland Local Government Areas.

THE WESTERN WEEKENDER

Released every Friday, The Western Weekender is Penrith's leading local newspaper. 

The publication is the premium source for news and information on the region, with public pick-up points at hundreds of locations across Penrith and its many suburbs.

With a dedicated on-the-ground news team, the Weekender is fully sectionalised, running content across News, Business, Entertainment, Lifestyle, Auto and Sport, plus special features through the year and the Extra Time liftout during the NRL season.

The Western Weekender provides a market-leading vehicle for businesses to advertise their products, services or events, reaching a strong cross-section of the Penrith population.

Readers access the paper either through high visibility public pick-up points across the city, through free digital subscriptions or a paid home delivery subscription. The paper's reach is constantly growing.

We partner with hundreds of businesses every week - small, medium and large - to deliver the best possible outcome.
