STPL News | Somerville Times | Peninsula Local
The next edition of the Somerville Times hits letterboxes and local outlets tomorrow, delivering the latest stories shaping the Mornington Peninsula and beyond.
You’ll find the latest edition of the Somerville Times at all usual outlets.
From election fallout in Flinders and shifting council dynamics to local protests, club closures, and community wins, 2025 has already been a whirlwind — and we’re not even halfway through the year.
STPL News has covered it all — daily online and in our monthly print editions. Now, thanks to growing reader support and an average 16% weekly increase in readership, the Somerville Times will soon be trialling an increase in print frequency — moving from monthly to every three weeks.
Readership growth has been driven by strong community engagement, positive feedback, and a genuine appetite for local news that puts people first. From emails, social media and website comments to conversations on the street, it’s clear the Somerville Times is striking a chord with readers across the Peninsula.
Independent local journalism isn’t always easy — it means long hours and short budgets — but it also means reporting that stays accountable, focused, and local.
So whether you’re a loyal subscriber, a casual reader, or someone who spotted a copy at the shop, keep an eye out tomorrow — and thank you for being part of the STPL News community.
