Comment News is the subsidiary of West Australian Newspapers (which
publishes the West Australian Newspaper), which publishes the
"Community" newspapers, which are published with different names in
different suburbs/localities. In Armadale, their local paper is named
"Community"; in Fremantle, from memory, it has an entirely different
name. At the top of the front page of the Armadale edition of the
Community newspaper, is the title "Comment News". As far as I am aware,
they publish "local" newspapers in every suburb in the Perth
metropolitan area. It sounds like it may be them, that you are
contacting. If so, it may be worth mentioning, that the event applies to
the whole of the Perth metropolitan area, and any area that they cover.
That way, a news item published, may be published across all their local
papers, and, not limited to the one that covers the Wilson/Bentley area.
