Veteran News Corp journalist and cricket writer Murray Hedgcock passed away in London on May 6, aged 90. Born in South Melbourne, he was posted to London from 1966 until his retirement in 1991. He wrote regularly for The Australian, Wisden and The Cricketer magazine.
Today’s Australian has the World section as a different lift out. Perhaps its just a figment of my poor memory but isn’t this what they used to do 15 years ago? I seem to recall that the World section was called The World, and was, to borrow American terms, section A3. Whereas The Nation was A1 and Business was A2.

Today’s Herald Sun sports section has a brand new look, similar to that for The Daily Telegraph and The Sunday Telegraph.
EDIT: it’s been followed today (May 16) by The Sunday Mail in Adelaide and Brisbane.

NCA will be sending reporters to Tokyo according to The Oz
At the moment, the new-look sports section for Herald Sun, The Advertiser and The Courier-Mail is only limited to their Saturday and Sunday editions. The three papers return to their original look for today’s sport sections.

This headline is garbage. It is purposefully adding to any outrage some people are feeling over this.

That’s not just News Corp these days, all the media outlets do it - the ABC is really bad at it too. It’s all about getting the outrage online these days and to paraphrase an old saying “don’t let the facts get in the way of a good headline”.
Outrage sells, gets people talking but also marginalises, promotes intolerances and misconceptions and causes division in the communities, something common from all the media these days whether it be print, online, TV or radio.

The decoupling of Stellar and Body+Soul magazines means that Stellar is no longer published in Tasmania from today, however Stellar is still available in airfreight copies of Sunday Herald Sun.
The comics that have been appearing in the Binge Guide in The Sunday Telegraph move to Insider section inside the main paper today and have been squished across a single page.
