Welcome to BACKCOVERNEWS.COM — Where Stories Matter.
At backcovernews.com, we believe in the power of storytelling to create change. We are a bold, independent media platform that amplifies diverse voices and uncovers the untold stories that matter. Founded in Melbourne in 2023, we emerged in direct response to the lack of representation in Australia’s media landscape.
Backcovernews.com is an initiative of Back Cover Media Pty Ltd, a proudly independent social enterprise committed to reshaping how news is told. Our mission is simple: to centre marginalised perspectives, challenge the status quo, and foster a media landscape that is inclusive, accessible, and truly representative of our communities.
What We Do
We go beyond headlines to spotlight real people and real issues—especially those often ignored by traditional outlets. Our work includes:
📰 Digital News Stories
Our website hosts a growing archive of original news features—from heartwarming human interest pieces to sharp investigations—focused on voices and communities often left out of mainstream coverage.
🎥 Video News Stories
We create short-form video journalism that engages audiences on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. These stories are designed to be informative, accessible, and visually compelling in the fast-paced digital age.
👥 People-Led Storytelling
We don’t just report the news—we invite everyday people to become news contributors. Our platform helps communities tell their own stories, in their own voices.
The Back Cover is more than just a news site—it’s a movement. Through our stories, we build bridges between cultures, challenge harmful narratives, and make space for those who’ve been sidelined for too long. As part of Back Cover Media, we also run free media training, mentorship, and community events to support the next generation of storytellers.
We invite you to join us—whether as a reader, contributor, or partner—in reshaping the narrative and making media that reflects the richness of who we truly are.
The Back Cover is your platform. Together, we reclaim the story.
