Corporate deal. Like Fitness Passport et. al.

If you can read this, thank a teacher. That is all.

I do use it in class.

That’s what it was. Telegraph did it too, it was called Classmate. They also did HSC study guides too.

I’m referring to a preferential price. Again, like a corporate deal, and we’re not the only ones they do it for. $8 a month is what you’re competing with.

They also had SMH subscriptions for students at a reduced price.

Can’t someone ask and wish for a better deal? Or am I being told to sit down and shut up around here?

I think they did something like that at one point (or was that News Ltd?) - I got a copy of the Herald every day in Years 11 & 12 (they were delivered to school), maybe it was something arranged by the School

And? There are plenty of jobs out there that get very few (if any) perks

Maybe don’t come across as demanding, like it should be an expectation.

The Sydney Morning Herald is Australia’s no.1 most read masthead with 7.7 million readers

The Sydney Morning Herald remains Australia’s most read news brand with a cross-platform readership of 7.7 million readers, according to the Total News readership figures released by Roy Morgan today.

Cementing its place as the country’s most read masthead, more than one in three Australian readers choose the Herald to stay informed. The Herald nearly doubles The Daily Telegraph readership (7.74 million versus The Telegraph’s 3.98 million) in Total News, in the latest figures in the 12-month period ending March 2023.

The Monday to Friday print edition recorded an impressive annual growth of 17% year-on-year, and quarterly growth of 4%. With an average issue readership of 417,000, this is the sixth consecutive quarter of growth.

The Sun Herald print edition increased its quarterly readership, up by 1% and is read by 423,000 people every Sunday. In the last four weeks, 1.9 million people on average have read a print edition of the Herald.

Across the Herald and The Age, the prestigious Good Weekend continues to be Saturday’s most read magazine insert, attracting an average issue print readership of 754,000, which is up 4% quarterly. Similarly, the Good Food and Traveller titles deliver total cross platform audiences of 1.49 million and 1.56 million, respectively, each month.

Sunday Life recorded an average issue print readership of 419,000, while Domain defied a softening real estate market, seeing annual growth of 7% and quarterly growth of 5%, to record an average issue print readership of 537,000.

Nine’s Total Publishing assets reach a de-duplicated audience of 16.6 million* Australians across print and digital.

“I am proud of our team for achieving such a strong result, particularly given the challenging environment all publishers are finding themselves in right now,” said The Sydney Morning Herald’s editor, Bevan Shields.

“The Herald continues to set the benchmark for quality journalism in Australia and I want to thank our subscribers and readers for their continued support for what we do.”

The Financial Review posts impressive growth as it remains Australia’s most read premium business title

The Australian Financial Review is the country’s most read premium business masthead recording a cross platform readership of 3.5 million people, according to Total News readership figures released by Roy Morgan today.

More than 1.1 million people have read a print edition of the Financial Review in the last four weeks, with the masthead experiencing its third consecutive quarter of growth, and a year-on-year increase of 6%. Meanwhile, The Australian has seen an annual drop of 17% for the same period.

The Monday to Friday print edition recorded massive annual growth of 42% year-on-year, and quarterly growth of 11% for an average issue readership of 222,000, compared to a yearly decrease of 5% for The Australian.

With the AFR Weekend Saturday print edition readership once again posting significant annual growth of 59%, and 11% in the last quarter, the weekend and weekday print editions have recorded their highest quarterly result since 2018.

The Australian Financial Review Magazine continues to dominate Australia’s monthly magazine insert figures, with a print readership of 481,000, which has seen a quarter on quarter growth of 12% and annual growth of 14%. This is AFR Magazine’s highest quarterly result since 2018.

Nine’s Total Publishing assets reach a de-duplicated audience of 16.6 million* Australians across print and digital.

“After the hit from COVID-19, it’s encouraging to see readers return to the newspaper edition of the nation’s premium business, finance and political publication,’’ said the masthead’s editor-in-chief Michael Stutchbury.

“That’s an endorsement of the newsroom’s journalism, including our breaking and ongoing pursuit of the PwC tax scandal.

“At the same time, the Financial Review continues to hold the most digitally-focused readership of any newspaper brand as we increase our share of that national market.”

The Age picked a strange day, the day of the Roberts-Smith verdict, to announce “A grand tradition is changing” – that is that Nine’s Melbourne paper is trialling a reduction in the frequency of daily editorials. “Editorials will still run regularly on Saturdays and appear other days as required,” editor Patrick Elligett said. “In place of daily editorials, we will feature more reader commentary, new columns and quizzes.”

The Victorian Government will cease virtually all metropolitan print newspaper advertising from next month, in a multi-million-dollar blow to Nine Publishing and News Corp Australia.

Premier Daniel Andrews will today confirm the dramatic shift in its paid media strategy, citing a return to pre-pandemic levels of spend and a need to deliver taxpayers better bang for buck.

From 1 July, metropolitan newspaper ads will not be placed by the government unless required by law.

It’s possible Nine could recoup some of the lost press revenue via an increased spend across radio and television, and The Age will still be eligible for digital placement. News Corp is less well-positioned.

One would think the ads required by law will include the big ads advising the public of the disruption dates for the works as part of Big Builld, e.g. West Gate Tunnel, Metro Tunnel, level crossings removals, and North East Link.

Will be interesting to see if this flows through to Regional papers too in the future

Progressively Governments have been removing the requirement to advertise in certain locations to give them flexibility but also so they can target the message to the audience (this is what’s been upsetting ACM). With readership numbers dropping, it makes sense to shift advertising to locations where it is going to be seen by a wide audience

The editor of The Age has sacked one of the masthead’s star columnists after she called out the publication over its ­refusal to run an article she wrote on youth gender transition.

According to The Australian, journalist Julie Szego posted on ­social media last week that while she had been commissioned to write a feature-length story about the contentious issue by The Age’s former editor Gay Alcorn, the newspaper’s current boss Patrick Elligett refused to run it.

Szego, a freelancer who has written for The Age on and off for more than two decades, then chose to self-publish the 5000-word piece on her own Substack page.

She told her social media followers her new blog will be a site where: “I’ll be writing about gender identity politics … without the copy being rendered unreadable by a committee of woke journalists redacting words they deem incendiary, such as ‘male’.”

Brisbane Times has a new look with colons last week:

And this is where I’d bet the punctuation mark would be the next design trend for all news organizations in the next few years, possibly as overused as the globe :upside_down_face:

It’s bordering to Franceinfo, and it’s nearly a carbon copy of :newstime, the newly-relaunched combined brand across ProSieben, Sat.1 and Kanal Eins in Germany:

If they want to say they’d like to “communicate with the readers/viewers better” through the symbol, then count me out!
