Greater SA - Abbie Tiller and Melissa Smith

Have you seen all the social media around Greater SA. It’s a modern media platform that been created by two local Balaklava lasses to keep regional people connected to local news and regional stories that matter.
With many regional local papers either closing or merging to make bigger regional publications, those local stories are harder to come by…but that’s where Greater SA steps in.
While many media outlets have their own online presence, the difference with this one is, it features stories from right across the state; not just the Mid North, or the Southeast, or the Riverland and Mallee but from every corner of the state.

They are only three months into this new business venture and their website is overflowing with content.

Abbie Tiller and Melissa Smith are the co-creators of Greater SA. They are super passionate about regional content, regional communities and covering those stories that don’t see the light of day on mainstream media.
