The Gippsland Times is a prominent regional newspaper based in Sale, serving as a vital media voice for the Wellington Shire district and surrounding communities such as Maffra, Heyfield, and Stratford. Established in July 1861, it holds a long-standing history as one of regional Victoria's enduring journalistic institutions, chronicling more than 160 years of local history, development, and community milestones.

As a trusted source for regional journalism, the publication focuses heavily on hyper-local matters that directly impact Gippsland residents. Key focus areas include:

  • Local News & Politics: Comprehensive reporting on municipal council decisions, local government policies, and regional development initiatives within the Wellington Shire.
  • Community Events & Culture: Highlights of local festivals, school achievements, charity events, and milestones within the towns of Sale and its neighbors.
  • Regional Sports: Extensive coverage of local leagues, including regional Australian rules football, netball, cricket, and minor sporting associations that form the backbone of community social life.
  • Agriculture & Industry: Insights and updates regarding farming, agribusiness, and environmental issues pertinent to the greater Gippsland agricultural plains.

Throughout its extensive history, the Gippsland Times has adapted to the shifting media landscape. While maintaining its deep roots in print journalism—including its historic office presence on Macalister Street in Sale—the publication has expanded into the digital sphere. Today, its online platform delivers up-to-date regional news, digital subscriptions, and classifieds, ensuring that both local residents and the wider diaspora stay connected to the heart of Gippsland.
