Local businesses across the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston are competing harder than ever for attention online. STPL News is offering an advertising model built around fixed digital placements, limited advertiser numbers, and direct access to a local readership.
With an average 100,000 website visitors per month, 7,000 daily e-news subscribers, and a Facebook audience of 5,000 followers generating 1 to 2 million views per month, STPL News provides local businesses with a clear pathway to consistent visibility. Print advertising will also return with a 10,000-per-month distribution from February 2026.
A Local Platform With Local Reach
STPL News is an independent local newsroom focused on the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston, publishing daily coverage across community news, breaking updates, crime, council reporting, sport, environment and local business.
For advertisers, this means your message appears in front of people who live locally and are actively following what is happening in their area, not a broad audience spread across unrelated regions.
Advertising Built For Visibility, Not Volume
Many platforms rely on rotating ads through multiple businesses, meaning visibility can be brief and inconsistent.
STPL News takes a different approach, with fixed placements and a limited number of advertisers per page, designed to deliver:
- Consistent presence rather than rotating impressions
- Reduced on-page competition
- Visibility on both desktop and mobile
- Ongoing exposure alongside trusted local reporting
Digital And Print Options Available
STPL News offers digital advertising packages suited to different business goals, from reliable brand presence through to editorial-style promotion.
From February 2026, print advertising will also be available again, with 10,000 copies distributed each month, providing an additional channel for businesses that want a combined online and print footprint.
Who This Suits
STPL News advertising is suited to businesses that want:
- A consistent local presence month-to-month
- A platform aligned with local community interest
- Visibility across web, e-news, and social channels
- A clear, transparent approach to sponsored promotion
Advertising And Editorial Independence
STPL News maintains a separation between advertising and editorial coverage. Advertising partners do not influence reporting, and sponsored content is clearly identified to readers.
