Eh? Think you'll find some even have an International section. Or am I really living in a parallel world...

Re: Aussie Newspapers
 

As you say, they do have international sections but seeing as at least 80% of the news in this section is nothing to do with the UK this doesn't count :sneaky: :D

Re: Aussie Newspapers
 

If you want to know what's really going on you have to read the independents like Crikey.com. the Monthly, etc. Like everywhere else in the world, newspapers in Australia are dying a slow death as advertising shrinks. Murdoch's papers (news.com.au) are generally right wing, but will back Labor when it suits his business interests. Fairfax papers are centrist/liberal.

Agree.

Re: Aussie Newspapers
 

Humm, we said “news papers” but seeing as you picked online news, while yes it has an international section, it’s limited and late – their current “breaking news” story happened yesterday.

So while the rare occasion that Australian papers, TV and online media do report outside news, it’s very limited and almost always late. And in saying that, usually international news is only reported if it involves an Australian, or something Australian related.

It’s just lucky we have the internet, otherwise we’d miss half the stuff – thank god for online CNN, BBC, FOX and SKY.

Australian news sites don’t even update over the weekends!

Re: Aussie Newspapers
 

The online site of a newspaper!

One of the biggest myths found on this site. I direct you to the same link. Plenty of things get covered. If there is a slant, in some stories, its due to the fact Australians write about Australian angles. The only blatant celebrity style reporting of Australians tends to be about household names and seem to be in the tabloids or the free goss rag that gets circulated, and why not. Ever seen a "10 Brits killed in Ibiza" style headline. Or reporting on British troops overseas....

Agree that nowadays most people point their browser at a variety of feeds and that's the way to go in this day and age.

There used to be a couple of papers years ago called "The Truth" and "The Sunday Truth", which had a page 3 topless bird. unfortunately it demised about 20 years ago.
