Hello , I ’ m Maryann , and I am excited to take on the role as the new Group Editor of the Independent Magazines this month .
I ’ ve come across from our sister publication , the Blacktown City Independent , which is the third , and newest , magazine in our growing publishing house .
I am immensely proud to be a member of this community-minded district that I ’ ve been lucky enough to call home for nearly two decades .
I have been working in the media , communications and community engagement fields for almost 30 years . I love reading and reporting news and events , but my passion is interviewing real people in real life situations and telling their story .
Celebrating community is what we ’ re about – through interesting personal stories , supporting business , organisations and the locality - giving you a platform to be part of the news , chronical history , share a ‘ good tale ’ and local business networking .
The Independent Magazine Group now comprises the Hawkesbury District , Hills District and Blacktown City editions . All designed , written and produced by locals for locals , under the masthead created right here in the Hawkesbury over 11 years ago by publisher / owner Julie Ryan .
We are a professional team of journalists , photographers , sales and production staff .
I ’ m thrilled to be the third editor for this publication , continuing the tradition of bringing you positive stories relating to your home , community groups and township .
I can be contacted at maryann @ hdinews . com . au .
