Central West PR, from a journalist based in Bathurst.
Stitch PR & Communications is a journalist-led PR agency based in Bathurst, working with businesses, experts and organisations across the Central West of New South Wales, from Bathurst and Orange to Dubbo, Lithgow and the towns in between.
The Central West has its own media: daily and weekly papers, ABC and commercial radio, and community stations. Getting a story into it takes someone who knows how those newsrooms work and what they need on the day.
