A special message from Cameron McCullough, Publisher, Mornington Peninsula News Group:

"Today we are asking for the community’s help. We are asking you to subscribe, for free, to your favourite local free weekly newspapers:

• Mornington News
• Southern Peninsula News
• Western Port News
• Frankston Times
• Chelsea Mordialloc Mentone News

"We will continue to print our five weekly newspapers but it's important for you to subscribe - without subscribing, many of you that are isolating may have trouble getting a copy of your local title. Subscribing guarantees you won’t miss out on a single word."

"It has been an unprecedented few weeks where we have worked non-stop to bring you the most up-to-date information possible. Our website has been swamped with over 300,000 visitors a week for the last two weeks, and our journalists continue to write stories in our newspapers holding people to account. We will not stop."

"We will not stop, because more than ever people need reliable and independent information. We will not stop, because we cannot allow people that don’t have the best interests of our community in mind to take advantage of the current uncertainty. We will not stop, because we want to travel the unknown journey ahead with each and every one of you. Please help us to provide the Mornington Peninsula with an independent voice.
