About Us: Since 1890 The Advocate has served the North-West and West coasts of Tasmania; a region abounding in natural beauty and resources, with a storied past and a present marked by change.
Publishing a print edition six days a week, we have long embraced the digital revolution and bring the latest news and sport to our readers whenever and wherever it occurs.
The Advocate has a proud record of being true to our name; of advocating fearlessly for the Coast and giving her people a voice.
Our communities are diverse, encompassing towns supported by farming and mining to cities that have turned to advanced manufacturing while offering growing appeal to visitors.
When we say under our masthead that we are ???covering West and North-West Tasmania??? we mean it - from the major centres of Devonport, Burnie and Ulverstone, through to Circular Head, down the wild West and across to King Island.
The Advocate has evolved with our region, and today, as part of ACM, we are working to ensure regional Australia is heard loud and clear.
Our talented team of journalists and photographers are committed to accurate, timely and engaging reporting on what matters to those who care about the North-West and West coasts.
Every day, we share the stories of the people who live here, from celebrating our young sporting talent to exploring the issues that challenge us.
Through our trusted storytelling, The Advocate is helping to give our region its sense of identity and building stronger communities.
