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