About Us
Hawkesbury Highlands is a new community newsletter. We believe a newsletter helps build a sense of community and keeps residents informed about local news, events and things relevant to our lives.
Hawkesbury Highlands provides a forum where you can find reliable information or in the alternative information that is clearly identified as rumor.
It is a platform for airing community issues and ideas for improving wellbeing.
The newsletter content is moderated by an editorial collective with a background in publication. If you would like to join the collective send us an email with your expression of interest.

Classifying articles Bilpin District Community News
1. News
• INFORM News articles provide factual, up-to-date information about recent events, developments, or significant issues. The main goal of news reporting is to inform the public about what’s happening in the world in a straightforward, objective way.
• Characteristics: News articles focus on the “who, what, when, where, and how” of an event. They avoid personal opinions or subjective analysis and are often written in a concise, neutral tone. The emphasis is on accuracy, timeliness, and clarity.
2. Analysis
• EXPLAIN Analysis pieces go beyond just reporting facts by examining the context, implications, and possible outcomes of a news story. These articles aim to help readers understand the deeper significance of an event or trend.
• Characteristics: Analysis articles often involve research, data, historical context, and expert insights. While still factual, they explore the “why” and “what next,” helping readers understand broader patterns and potential impacts without necessarily expressing the author’s personal viewpoint.
3. Commentary
• INTERPRET: Commentary articles offer a specific perspective or interpretation of current events, often providing background or expertise from the author on an issue. The goal is to add depth to the public discussion by exploring particular angles or implications.
• Characteristics: Commentary may blend fact with interpretation but remains closely tied to evidence and context. Although less neutral than news, it doesn’t necessarily advocate for a particular stance; instead, it seeks to illuminate or clarify aspects of an issue.
4. Opinion
• PERSUADE: Opinion pieces reflect the personal beliefs, values, or stance of the writer on a particular issue. Unlike news, which is objective, or analysis, which is interpretive, opinion articles are explicitly subjective and advocate for a viewpoint.
• Characteristics: Opinion articles aim to persuade or encourage readers to consider a particular perspective. They often include arguments, examples, and emotional appeal to support the writer’s position. Common opinion formats include editorials, letters to the editor, and op-eds.
