DEATH OF ANOTHER PUBLICATION

Word has come through that  the Magnetic Island  community news publication  , claiming to be the island's local newspaper  since 1989, has  folded ,  described as  another "victim of the virus ".  With  an  anti ALP attitude  and a  strangely written   Police Report  section ,  it   had   improved in  layout  of   late  and  the use of  dramatic  photos  of  the island  taken  by  a   drone , provided   by  the   man  who  wrote  the  interesting   fishing  column . On April 3 we  reported that the  Thursday  Island   Cape and  Torres News  covering  Cape York and Torres Strait  had  been  forced  to  close .
