If there’s one thing you don’t want to miss this week, it’s our revamped magazine, Betty & Don.

The original Betty and Don magazines, which have long celebrated the vibrant lives of women and men, have merged into one publication. And we’re thrilled to unite the two and mark the beginning of this exciting journey.

As we blend our strengths into one dynamic publication, this merger creates a lively space where diverse voices, styles and perspectives now come together.

And our mission remains clear: to honour individuality and deliver enriching content that resonates with every reader.

From fashion and lifestyle to culture and wellness, you’ll find fresh ideas and compelling stories that reflect our shared experiences.

And in this very first edition, with more than 100 pages packed with content, there’s so much to explore.

Our cover features Kyabram farmer Harry Lloyd and Melbourne native Tess Brookman, who found romance on Farmer Wants a Wife and have charted a beautiful path together since.

We also caught up with theatre icon Dale Jenke, life coach Michael Reid, and talented artists like Mark Niglia, who crafted a sculpture for royalty, and Christine Broerson, whose art is set to reach the moon.

Plus, there’s plenty of spring fashion, along with the latest must-see movies, music recommendations and recipes.

Everything you need for inspiration is in one spot, just waiting for you.

How do I grab a copy, you ask?

It’s as simple as purchasing The News this Friday, October 11 to get your free copy of Betty & Don inside.

The magazine will also be distributed at Shepparton’s Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch on October 11 and the Ladies Who Lunch event on October 27.
