The book explores the evolution of country newspapers in Victoria over fifty years, starting with the Geelong Advertiser founded by James Harrison in 1840. It highlights the significant role these publications played in shaping local communities and their growth, culminating in December 1890 when 166 newspapers were operating across 122 towns. Through this historical lens, it sheds light on the impact of journalism in rural Victoria and the development of regional identity during that period.
