TWiSK: This Week in St Kilda has reached the 445 edition milestone as the year 2025 draws to a close.
TWiSK provides a great list of local events in arts, music and community alongside local news and updates on local politics.
Coverage of the Council elections drew in more readers than ever before as the voters searched for independent information on the 46 local candidates.
Now with over 1,500 devoted local readers, TWiSK is active in LINA (Local Independent News Association) and added a paid subscription option to help maintain the independence of the newsletter.
Subscriber supported independent local media
TWiSK creator Greg Day said subscriber supported publications enjoyed greater independence than advertising or grants provided.
