The platform operates an extensive hyper-local news network, featuring 11 print and digital mastheads across the greater Perth metropolitan area, strategically divided into four distinct zones: Central, North, South, and South Coast.

Comprehensive Coverage and Audience Reach

Through Seven West Media’s combined reporting resources, PerthNow delivers comprehensive coverage spanning local, national, and international news, entertainment, lifestyle stories, and sports updates seven days a week.

The platform has earned recognition for its diverse content mix, from critical crime reporting to celebrity news and workplace-friendly content that resonates with its readership.

Recent Developments and Growth

PerthNow has cemented its position as WA’s most popular news website, attracting more than 2.8 million unique browsers monthly and generating over 1 million page impressions daily.

As part of Seven West Media Limited, an ASX-listed company, PerthNow benefits from being integrated into Australia’s largest diversified media business, with extensive reach across broadcast television, radio, print, and online publishing.

Future Outlook

In a significant development for its parent company, Seven West Media recently completed the acquisition of Southern Cross Austero’s regional Seven Network affiliate stations across various territories for $3.75 Million in July 2025, further strengthening its media presence.

As Western Australia’s premier news and entertainment website, PerthNow continues to evolve, maintaining its commitment to delivering the latest news while focusing on stories that matter most to its local audience, from breaking news to lifestyle content and everything in between.
