Closure of Telegraph office

The Telegraph office is closing, but not the masthead. The masthead’s dedicated staff will continue to serve the community with all the latest news in print and on the Telegraph website and social media.

The Telegraph office in Seymour will close on Wednesday, December 4.

McPherson Media Group executive chairman Ross McPherson said the expense of maintaining a bricks-and-mortar presence was no longer viable in an increasingly digital age.

“It makes more sense to invest in journalism and community and customer engagement through digital means — although our journalists and advertising team will be maintaining a constant presence in Seymour,” Mr McPherson said.
