Media and publications subgroup established in 1991 and started to publish the magazine Avustralya’da Elele (Hand-in-hand /Harmony in Australia) in September 1993.
The first Puplication Subgroup committee led by Feriha Reşitoğlu with the support of Ayşe Aday and Türkân Gagalı. Many members of the association took responsibility in this subgroup and made the publication of Avustralya’da Elele magazine possible.

The Western Thrace Turks who start migrating to Australia in 1969, were not able to have a publication of their own for 24 long years. A Media and Publications subgroup was formed within the association in 1991. However, this subgroup was inactive for two years. In 1993, Avustralya’da Elele began publication. Later, publications such as Yankı, Elele Children’s Magazine and Australian Western Thrace Turkish School Magazine, all targeting the children of the Turkish community, appeared. Of these, the Avustralya’da Elele and Yankı find their place in the Australian Turkish press bibliography. Apart from the magazines, books were also published. The book of poetry called Bir Sana Yandım Bin Şiir Yazdım by Tijen İsmailoğlu published in 2006. The book Turkish Proverbs and Idioms was compiled by Sihem İmam-Hüseyin on behalf of the Australian Western Thrace Turkish Association and published in Turkish and English, in 2007.

The book Avustralya’da Batı Trakya Türkleri was written by Feyyaz Sağlam (in Turkey) in 2006 and published by AWTTA. This Turkish book was updated and expanded by Sihem İmam-Hüseyin and Feyyaz Sağlam before translated to English. This new history book Western Thrace Turks in Australia was published in 2009 Melbourne by AWTTA. All publications are listed with details under “Publications” page.

The Publications Subgroup is currently run by Sihem and Memet İmam-Hüseyin.
