Australasia's home for timber news and information

The partnership with Viewa will mean people will be able to access video content explaining the benefits of forest industries by scanning upcoming newspaper advertising, or the front page of AFPA’s ‘10 Actions for Growth’ document.

AFPA is running advertising in Tasmania’s Examiner and Advocate newspapers Friday 26 April. The advertisements will be Viewa enabled, meaning readers will be able to access video content by hovering their smartphone over the advertisements or front page of the ‘10 Actions for Growth’ document, using the Viewa App, to unlock video.
