Monash Herald: Our Story

An Independent publication filling the silence with the stories Monash has always deserved to hear.

The Monash Herald started with a simple observation: for a city full of stories, Monash wasn’t getting much… well, story. We’re locals who live the day‑to‑day here, we know about the school runs, the late‑night supermarket dashes, the “why is Springvale Road like this?” moments, and we kept noticing the same thing. The stories that define our community weren’t really being covered anywhere. Not the small wins, not the quiet community heroes, and sometimes, not even the decisions shaping what our suburbs look like next year.

So we set out to change that.

What began as many “someone should really be reporting on this” remarks has grown into a publication built entirely from local commitment. We’re not backed by big media or distant newsrooms. We’re powered by people who love this place; its diversity, markets and libraries, its parks and playgrounds, its small businesses, its cultural festivals, its volunteers, and the thousands of stories unfolding quietly every day.

Monash deserves a voice that feels like home, and that’s why we’re here.
