Hold tight - we’re checking permissions before loading more content A new week and a new bulletin. That’s right it’s Monday, January 8 and there’s lot of great stories to check out today.

When you pick up a paper, you’ll most commonly notice the articles and advertisements, but there’s more to a newsroom than what makes it to the news stand. Jonathan Skinner is just one of the cogs in the newspaper machine. Read all about his story. A Shepparton man who threw a bag containing a sawn-off gun and drugs out his bedroom window when police came knocking at his door looking for someone else has been sentenced. For all this and more, have a read of the latest News online or in print. You can also sign up to our various newsletters, or download the Shepparton News app, to hear from us more directly.
