Journalism encompasses news reporting, feature writing, investigative journalism, opinion and analysis across print, digital, broadcast and podcast formats. Blue Mountains journalists work locally and nationally, contributing to newspapers, magazines, online publications, radio and podcast programs, bringing a combination of community knowledge and professional reporting skills to their work.
Blue Mountains journalists are available for commissioned features, research, interviews, editing and consultancy. When commissioning journalism, be clear about the angle, word count, deadline and rights (first publication rights, digital rights and syndication rights should all be discussed and agreed in writing before work begins).
How can a local journalist help my Blue Mountains business tell its story?
A professional journalist brings trained storytelling skills and editorial experience to craft compelling narratives about your business, products, or services. They can conduct interviews, research your industry context, and write articles or features that resonate with your target audience while maintaining credibility and readability. Unlike standard marketing copy, journalistic writing builds trust through balanced, well-researched content that engages readers authentically.
What types of journalism services are available in the Blue Mountains?
Blue Mountains-based journalists offer a range of services including feature writing, news reporting, investigative pieces, interview-based articles, and long-form storytelling for both print and digital publications.

Do journalists in this directory work with local publications or just freelance?
The journalists listed work in various capacities - some are freelancers available for commission work, others contribute regularly to local and regional publications, and many do both. They have experience across community newspapers, magazines, online platforms, and corporate communications. When you contact a journalist through MTNS MADE, you can discuss their availability and whether they can pitch your story to relevant publications or create content directly for your own channels.
Should I hire a journalist or a copywriter for my website content?
If you need fact-based, informative content like case studies, thought leadership articles, or editorial-style blog posts, a journalist's research and interviewing skills are ideal. For persuasive sales copy, advertising content, or SEO-focused web pages, a dedicated copywriter might be better suited. Many professionals have skills in both areas, so browse the MTNS MADE member search to find someone whose portfolio matches your specific content needs.
