The Gannawarra Times is Kerang and district's leading provider of local news and
information.
 

It was first published on March 3, 2015 after sister publications, The Northern Times, based at Kerang, and the Cohuna Farmers’ Weekly were amalgamated to consolidate news coverage of the Shire of Gannawarra community.

Kerang’s first newspaper, the Kerang Times and Swan Hill Gazette, was first
published in 1876, just 40 years after English explorer, Major Thomas Mitchell
passed through this area of northern Victoria. The Cohuna Farmers’ Weekly had been published since 1922.

We are committed to providing ongoing wealth of relevant local news and sport
information to our district community.

We are continually working for our readers - without whom we would not exist - and we are committed to our district community, as history has shown.
