Servaas de Kock, sales and marketing director, says in these times of uncertaint­y, people are more than ever looking for a trusted brand to read verified news.

“We are very proud of the editorial and digital efforts our teams are producing on a daily basis in difficult circumstan­ces to ensure that our communitie­s stay informed.

“The stats also show that we do not just have a loyal local following, but also a national and internatio­nal audience.”

The Group Editors title websites are complement­ed by various social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter collective­ly drawing more than

250 000 followers. This is where our communitie­s get to engage, interact and share their opinions with us and one another.

“We are so proud of our digital platforms,” says online editor Tanya Watson. “Being a trusted local news source has always been important, but even more so in trying times. Getting the news to our readers as it happens, is our top priority.”
