The Geelong Independent is a local free weekly newspaper delivered to houses in the Geelong region in Victoria.
The newspaper was founded in 1986,[1] and was started by a group of local businessmen - mostly real estate agents and car yard salesmen - unhappy with the cost of advertising in existing local publications. They sold their share to the Star News Group managed by fourth generation owner, Paul Thomas, in the mid-2000s with a gradual takeover by the family owned newspaper company.[citation needed]
The managing editor is Tony Galpin, a former senior journalist at the Independent before taking over as editor. He formerly worked on the Wimmera Mail Times.[citation needed]
