The editor of that first edition, Robert Clark, promised to "speak out boldly" on issues which impact on Ballarat. We continue to do that today and are as committed as ever to being a strong advocate for this region.'Our mission statement is "to build our community through a quality newspaper which is responsible and accountable".'Source: Ballarat Courier website, http://www.thecourier.com.au/
