About
Our local newspaper promoting Dungog and surrounding villages of Clarence Town, Vacy, Gresford, Paterson and Stroud. Continuously publishing since 1880.
In June 2008 the Dungog Chronicle celebrated 120 years since it was first published. Originally call the Durham Chronicle, the publication has been part of the district for more than 12 decades. It has ridden the highs and reported on the lows, recording the passage of time from when Dungog had 500 inhabitants in 1887.
It has survived the war years, depression, has undergone a number of ownership changes, printing and production techniques, enormous technological changes, as well as different staff, editorship and management.
But in 124 years the vision of the paper has not changed - it was created to report local news fairly and without fear or favour. The Chronicle is a newspaper with a proud history of being a vital part of our local community, a history of involvement that will continue.
The Chronicle is very much a community newspaper which reflects the community which it serves. It plays an important role in delivering the news of the day and providing a forum for the community to discuss what is important to them.
