The latest edition of quarterly magazine AgJournal has been published by News Corp Australia.
The magazine – which reaches more than 1.8 million readers throughout regional Australia – examines all aspects of national agribusiness, setting the agenda for analysis of market trends and issues within the booming $78billion+ agriculture market.
The AgJournal is inserted in The Weekly Times – Australia’s largest circulating rural newspaper – as well as the regional editions of the mass-market capital city newspapers, the Herald Sun, The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail, The Advertiser and national broadsheet The Australian.
Features in the latest edition include:
• Young blood – the ambitious uni graduates answering the agriculture industry’s desperate call for talent
• Rotary club – a home-grown investment fund returning Tasmanian dairy farmland to Australian hands
• Stepping up to the plate – inaugural Cattle Australia boss David Foote on the beef industry’s big issues: influence, climate and female leadership
• Weight and see – how cutting-edge agtech developed by farmers for farmers is earning producers hundreds of thousands of dollars
In November last year, News Corp Australia appointed Agostino Giramondo as general manager of The Weekly Times.
He replaced Scott McCullough, who worked closely with the masthead’s editorial team to partner with The Australian and state-based mastheads to create new and incremental revenue through the creation of The Weekly Times/News Ag Network.
The network comprises the quarterly AgJournal (inserted into all NCA print titles), an online Virtual Field Days platform called VirtuAg, quarterly Victorian Regional Reports, the Australian Ag Podcast, regular industry webinars as well as The Weekly Times’s Coles Farmer of the Year, now in its 10th year, and the Harvey Norman Shine awards.
Giramondo has spent more than a decade earlier in his career with News Corp Australia in senior positions including general manager, Automotive/Cars Guide, advertising sales director of The Daily & Sunday Telegraph and deputy advertising director, Herald & Weekly Times.
