The Messenger of today is an advertiser-sponsored publication. Over 4000 copies are distributed weekly throughout the Upper Clutha region and also now to Cromwell at the New World and BP service station.

The Upper Clutha Messenger- free to readers since 1978.

The Upper Clutha Messenger was first printed on November 1, 1978. It was a free double-sided B4 based on the Cromwell "Copycat" Its purpose was to provide a regular and reliable means of communication within the District.

The Messenger today normally ranges between 28-36 pages depending on the number of weekly advertisers.  It now has a full colour cover, but still maintains the original purpose of providing a "notice board" for the community and keeping people informed.

The original "Community Diary" continues, still the "what's on", when and where of Wanaka.

    Wanaka's advertising weekly, often described as "the bible" because "everyone reads The Messenger".

It is also available at the New World, the BP Service Station and several other sites in Cromwell.
