IndyNR editor
Susanna Freymark
I’ve been a journalist for more than 20 years.
I started as a cadet at the Northern Star, worked at News Corp in Sydney as education editor and then came back to Lismore to work at APN.
I was editor of the Richmond River Express Examiner for almost five years and when News Corp closed the paper, I became editor of the Richmond River Independent for more than a year until covid economic circumstances closed the community-owned paper.
Not wanting the area to be without local news, I started this website. Our stories create a narrative history of our region. And news from Kyogle and Richmond Valley needs to be told.
I am committed to balanced and fair reporting and believe news should be free and available to everyone.
