Independent local journalism doesn’t happen for free. It happens because people decide it matters.

The Otway Edit is made in South West Victoria, on Gadubanud Country, by journalist, editor and photographer April Burton.

There are no paywalls. No clickbait. No outside owners telling us what to cover.

Just local stories, properly told.

Your support helps us get out into the region, meet people where they are, spend the time a good story deserves, check the facts, pay contributors and keep making journalism that belongs to this place.

If TOE has made you think, taught you something, introduced you to someone interesting or simply given you a reason to look a little closer — you can help keep it going.

No pressure. No guilt trip. Just a way to back independent local journalism if you believe it’s worth having.
