About Fascia-Gutter-Wagga-Wagga

Our Journey and Mission

Founded in 2017, Fascia-Gutter-Wagga-Wagga (FGGW) is a dedicated news platform with a unique focus on the vibrant community of Wagga-Wagga and its surrounding areas. Our mission is to become the go-to source for comprehensive, unbiased, and accurate local news, keeping our readers informed and engaged.

The idea behind FGGW stemmed from a growing need for a reliable news outlet that could bridge the information gap in the region. We recognized that while national media provides valuable coverage, it often overshadows the unique stories and issues specific to local communities. Hence, we set out to create a platform that truly represents and serves the people of Wagga-Wagga.

Our Purpose and Values

Purpose: To empower the people of Wagga-Wagga and its surrounding regions by providing timely, relevant, and reliable news that fosters community engagement and informed decision-making.

Closing the Information Gap

The internet has democratized information access, but it also presents challenges. Local news often gets overlooked or simplified in favor of national headlines. FGGW aims to fill this gap by providing in-depth coverage of regional affairs, from council meetings and community events to local business spotlights and environmental initiatives. We believe that keeping the community informed is crucial for a thriving and engaged society.

We take pride in our rigorous fact-checking process, employing a team of dedicated editors and journalists who verify every piece of content before publication. Additionally, we encourage reader feedback and welcome tips from within the community to ensure accuracy.
