About Us

The Courier Pigeon is an online publication dedicated to providing Australians with an up to date and informative news service. Our stories cover the national news events that impact everyday Australians, every single day. While our global news bring you the big stories from the far reaches of the planet.

The Courier Pigeon was formed when a group of like minded professionals who were unsatisfied with the large publications decided they could offer a quality alternative. With an in-depth knowledge of their chosen industries our staff can offer insights not found elsewhere. Our team of editors and writers stem from diverse professional backgrounds. With histories spanning the Australian Finance, IT & T, Design and Music industries our team provide readers with highly informative and educated stories.

From all of the staff here at The Courier Pigeon we thank you for reading and supporting us in our quest to bring you the highest quality service possible.

Kind Regards,
