Do you want to know more about how our journalism is produced and have your say on the issues that matter to you?

The Bega District News is introducing an exclusive Facebook group just for subscribers.

Our newsroom will join conversations with subscribers, while group members can also get an insight into our reporting and be part of the process.

You'll also be first to hear about competitions, special offers and live events that we've got coming up, exclusive to subscribers.

We know social media can be a passionate and outspoken space, and sometimes those discussions can mean many of our readers don't feel comfortable in sharing their views.

While we appreciate everyone's commentary on our regular Bega District News Facebook page, we want to offer something even more special.

Asafer space online exclusive for those most passionate about local journalism, this region, its stories and its many views.

Our group is an open but moderated forum. We invite full participation from our subscribers, but ask that members abide by the house rules and treat the group as you would a dinner party.

To join:

Visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/bdnsubscribers/ and request to join.

You will be asked three questions for our moderators to ascertain that you are indeed a subscriber.

Once you are in, share stories you like, ask questions and participate in group discussions.

Our journalists are waiting to hear from you and keen to share their stories and photos of news, sport and community events from this wonderful district.
