Support The Otway Edit

The Otway Edit is a slow journalism publication made in South West Victoria, on Gadubanud Country, by journalist and editor April Burton. There are no paywalls, no clickbait headlines, and no outside owners — just careful, independent reporting that takes time to do well.

Reader support is what keeps this work possible. Your contribution helps cover travel to meet people where they are, time for long-form reporting and fact-checking, fair payment for contributors, and the quiet behind-the-scenes work that rarely makes a splash but matters deeply to the community.

If The Otway Edit has informed you, stayed with you, or simply felt like a good companion to your day, you might like to support it. There’s no pressure — reading is always welcome, with or without a contribution — but if you’re in a position to help sustain this work, it genuinely makes a difference.

Prefer to support in another way — such as commissioning a story, partnering on a project, or offering in-kind help? You can get in touch with April to talk about what feels right.
