That is our job and core mission, which remains unchanged even as our world changes around us.

This morning we launched The Border Mail's new Facebook group page, The Border Mail - Courts and Crime.

Our challenge and obligation in this increasingly digital world is to deliver the news to readers in different and varied ways.

This new platform will allow us to deliver, in a dedicated site, all of the courts and crime news in one place.

It will also allow us to provide insights, updates and news as it happens across our region.

Unlike on our The Border Mail Facebook page, having a specialised court and crime group allows us to limit and turn off comments.

Ordinarily we are unable to share a lot of court and crime stories to our Facebook page, as the legal risk is simply too high.

It is for this reason that you will discover that the comments will be disabled for most of our court stories in the Facebook group.

Why should you join our new group?

Because there is no voice like a trusted voice. It's not gossip, it's not secondhand information shared over the back fence.

We are in court almost every day in Wangaratta, Wodonga and Albury and our coverage is produced by a team of dedicated journalists based right here on the Border.

IN OTHER CRIME NEWS:

We want to share information with you.

And, when we can, we want to keep you updated - follow through with what happened next.

We will also deliver it in the most timely fashion possible.

And that might not mean in a heartbeat - because getting the right information is more important than getting the fastest information.
