00:00 Hi, I'm Lisa Allen and I'm the editor of the Newcastle Herald.

00:03 For more than 160 years, the Herald has been telling stories of Newcastle and the Hunter,

00:10 advocating for our great region and holding power to account.

00:14 We love where we live and we're passionate about keeping our community strong,

00:20 informed and connected. But we need your help.

00:23 You might have heard that Facebook and Instagram's parent company Meta

00:29 is moving to make it harder for users in Australia to access news on its platforms.

00:34 Before your source of local news disappears from your feed,

00:38 there are a few things you should do to make sure you stay connected.

00:42 Firstly, you should sign up for one of our breaking news emails and we will deliver the

00:49 headlines straight to your inbox. You can also download our app and catch up with the latest

00:54 news on the go. And you can follow us on other social media platforms.

01:00 I'd also invite you to join us as a Newcastle Herald subscriber

01:04 and support the local journalism that matters to your region and your community.

01:09 Don't let an algorithm tell you what is news. Visit us at newcastleherald.com.au and stay connected.

01:17 Thank you.
