Celebrating Rural Media icons

Rural Media Icons are inspirational individuals held in admiration by peers for high levels of professionalism, long term dedication and passion for communicating rural issues in the rural media.

A prime role of Rural Media South Australia is to ensure that issues relevant to rural communities and agriculturally based industries are profiled to the broader population via all the media channels.

Not all people involved in rural media are recognisable on the front line.  Some provide outstanding back-room support mechanisms to others, who then report the issues.

Rural Media South Australia, with the support of sponsor Rural Solutions SA, identifies and celebrates exceptional contributors to the rural media profession through their formal induction as Rural Media Icons.

Rural media is recognised as one of the primary mechanisms that influences cultural change in the rural arena.

Most importantly, it is the medium that ensures every person who wants to, has equal, unrestricted and easy access to information.

People inducted as Rural Media Icons have set the stage for the rural sector to develop internal capacity within its communities, empower individual players and adopt cutting edge technologies by industries.
