ASICS is also onboard and will be dressing the 45 editorial team members on the ground in Paris.
Coverage will be across News’ metropolitan and regional mastheads, CODE Sports, The Australian, news.com.au and kidsnews.com.au. The coverage will also be extended to prestige and lifestyle titles including Vogue Australia, GQ Australia, delicious., Body+Soul and Escape.
The celebration will include a one-hour documentary The Australian: 60 Years of News, which premieres on Sky News at 8pm AEST on Monday, July 15, exactly 60 years after the paper was first published in Canberra.
News Corp’s coverage of Dutton’s son carrying a small bag of white powder occupied the opening segment of Media Watch last night.

Online, both Sydney mastheads down strongly month-on-month.
Most people are not left-leaning Guardian readers and the SMH has always been more conservative than the David Syme & Co people on the Yarra.
Next round of cost savings at News Corp, would be a welcome move to save on printing the Gold Coast Bulletin and leave it as online only.
Reading it recently at a cafe, the writing standard was as if for school children and not particularly intelligent ones either.
Even the letters to the editor are reminiscent of the irrational contributors to the Gympie Times, the gun advocate Ron Owen and his echo chamber of supporters.
Previous staff cuts are evident, a shrinking amount of local news too.
Why embarrass the memory of the publication with such a poor end, go online and end the low quality printing.
It’s certainly a very thin paper these days, 90+ percent of which is duplicated from the sister paper from Brisbane. Still, there’s got to be a good number of the Coast’s (many) over 65s that still buy it as they’ve been trained to do with papers over their lifetimes.
I’d hate to see it disappear though. A city the size of the Coast, and being home to the country’s second largest local government, deserves a local paper that covers local issues. If you think those in charge down there get away with anything now, imagine how they’d go without a local written publication in town.
Not enough to line the budgie cage? 
Council gets away with what they wish as most of the media staff are GC Bulletin. Embedded by desperation.
Any closure of a publication is a shame, I’d be happy to see it remain online. Saves lining budgie cages and making cafes look untidy.
as long as they align to the LNP and relentlessly bash the ABC… sure… 
It’s a very boring echo chamber. Mostly preaches to the converted (or is it blinkered?).
There is an article in The Australian today regarding its parent company’s coverage.
Johns, one of Fox Sports’ star presenters who fronts the network’s flagship rugby league show and hosts his own podcast, will spearhead News Corp’s most ambitious Olympics coverage to date when the Paris Games kick off this month.
Johns will be part of the company’s 45-strong team travelling to France, and will co-host a daily podcast with former swimmer James Magnussen to wrap up the key Olympic stories and talking points arising from the various competitions.
Fox Sports managing director Steve Crawley, who will act as News Corp’s Olympic director in Paris, says the company is taking a “holistic approach” to the Games. “We’re taking 45 people from across News Corp’s newspaper mastheads, as well as from Sky News, Fox Sports, news.com.au and Vogue,” Crawley says. “Not all of the people who are going have worked on sport so it’s a serious look at the future of media.”
Across the two-week span of the Games, News Corp will produce a daily, 24-page digital magazine which will go live at 8am (AEST) to coincide with the conclusion of the finals of the swimming and athletics events. Print titles will also run a 8-12 page daily wrap of the Games.
The first episode of Matty Johns and James Magnussen podcast is available now:
