Why Local News Matters

In the Cove delivers independent Lane Cove news every day — 100% free, with no paywall and no media owners influencing what we publish.

We write for the community, from within the community.

We are a proud member of LINA – the Local & Independent News Association, which supports small, independent publishers who serve their communities with reliable, accountable, local journalism.

Why local news matters:
Local news strengthens community connection, keeps residents informed, spotlight issues that bigger outlets overlook, and holds local decision-makers accountable. When local news disappears, communities lose transparency, trust and shared understanding. Your support ensures Lane Cove continues to have a strong, independent voice.

Independent reporting takes time, resources and a huge commitment to our community. Every contribution helps us continue covering the stories no one else does.
