The Nightly shines the spotlight On Tomorrow

New issue includes Andrew Forrest, Sam Elsom, Rob Scott, Dr Brendan Nelson, Joanne Gorton and more

Seven West Media’s The Nightly, Australia’s only digital evening newspaper, today launched the second installation of its The Nightly On series: The Nightly On Tomorrow.

The new magazine explores what global business leaders, renowned experts, scientists, demographers and social researchers have to say about how society, the business world and our everyday lives will change in the 25 years until Australia is expected to hit net zero in 2050.

The Nightly On series launched in October last year. Every quarter it focuses on major themes of the new economy impacting business, politics and the broader society, including exclusive in-depth interviews with thought-leaders, innovators and change-makers.

The Nightly On Tomorrow includes interviews with Fortescue Chairman Andrew Forrest, Sea Forest founder Sam Elsom and Wesfarmers Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Rob Scott, along with insights from Deloitte Australia CEO Joanne Gorton, Boeing Global President Dr Brendan Nelson and other business leaders, economists, scientists and experts.

Magazine Editor Jay Hanna said: “The Nightly On Tomorrow is an unmissable read offering an insightful, informative and entertaining glimpse into the future.

“It delves into the major issues impacting life and business in Australia and explores how topics such as AI, the energy transition, climate change, productivity and population growth will shape the next 25 years.

“The Nightly On Tomorrow combines the excellent journalism and bold, modern design approach which has set The Nightly apart since its launch,” she said.

Launched in February 2024, The Nightly has established itself as a key player in the Australian media sector, with a unique audience of more than 2.7 million a month.

According to audited figures from IPSOS iris, The Nightly recorded 8.8 million page views in January this year. More than half its readers are aged 25 to 54, while 70% of its audience live on the east coast.

The Nightly draws on some of the best journalists in the country, including reporters from 7NEWS and West Australian Newspapers, and features agenda-setting commentators and analysts including Aaron Patrick, Latika M Bourke, Cameron Milner, Jeni O’Dowd, Andrew Carswell, Nicola Smith, Ellen Ransley and Jackson Hewitt.

The Nightly’s international coverage features stories and columns from The New York Times, The Economist, The Washington Post and CNBC.

Anyone noticed 7news website featuring more articles from on-air talent?

Last few days I’ve seen pieces online from Edwina, Jane Bunn etc.

Also noticing more social first video, Poppy Reid for culture/music, Sonny London with topical news stories, recently Sally Bowery with network stars etc.

Have noticed a few articles from Edwina. Mike Smithson also regularly writes articles about SA political events as well.

The forum was held last Thursday at the Sydney Opera House.

I was going to post this is The Nightly thread, but it appears to have disappeared (I’m sure it was combined with the Seven News website thread only recently) rather than be off-topic in this one (as it is a separate brand to Seven News). Some quotes from that article, achieving the aim of extending audience to the east coast.

That thread was locked by the mods in early March.

This thread is a catch-all for Seven’s News products.

The brand is something of an overnight success story, literally, going from zero to more than three million monthly readers in just over a year.

It helps that they shoved it down the throats of 7News viewers, plastered the content all over 7news social media channels and were exempt from the cost-cutting that has plagued 7news.com.au. Of course they are free to leverage those channels, but let’s acknowledge that flooding the zone was probably more inpactful than the content itself.

The Nightly On Influence

New issue includes Mark Arbib, Katy Gallagher, Kyle Sandilands, Peter Malinauskas, Natalie Barr and more

Seven West Media’s The Nightly, Australia’s only digital evening newspaper, today launched the latest installation of its The Nightly On series: The Nightly On Influence.

The Nightly On Influence includes South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas, radio king Kyle Sandilands, new Australian Olympic Committee CEO Mark Arbib, Sunrise co-host Natalie Barr and Senator Katy Gallagher, plus features on Australia’s biggest social media stars; AI, energy and a new generation; how social media has democratised the fashion industry; and interviews with the country’s sporting code chiefs.

Magazine Editor Jay Hanna said: “Influence as we know it is shifting. Those who are traditionally considered people of influence often shy away from that title, while the social media generation have jumped on the term, using it to commodify their ability to impact trends and sway consumer behaviours, and even the voting preferences of their followers.

“Maintaining influence, as the people featured in The Nightly On Influence show, is about demonstrating thoughtful leadership, contributing meaningfully to conversations that matter, and providing experiences that count.”

The Nightly On series launched in October last year. Every quarter it focuses on major themes of the new economy impacting business, politics and the broader society, including exclusive in-depth interviews with thought-leaders, innovators and change-makers.

The Nightly has become a key player in the Australian media sector since it launched in February last year, with a unique audience of more than 3 million a month.

According to audited figures from IPSOS iris, The Nightly recorded 6.95 million page views in April this year, up 59% on April 2024. More 40% its readers are aged 25 to 54, while almost 70% of its audience live on the east coast.

The Nightly team includes some of the best journalists in the country, including reporters from 7NEWS and West Australian Newspapers, and features agenda-setting commentators and analysts including Aaron Patrick, Latika M Bourke, Cameron Milner, Jeni O’Dowd, Andrew Carswell, Nicola Smith, Ellen Ransley and Jackson Hewitt.

The Nightly’s international coverage features stories and columns from The New York Times, The Economist, The Washington Post and CNBC.

You have to wonder what the ROI on these are. Surely there aren’t that many people downloading them.

What is this about?

The description doesn’t match the image used.

But, yes, would be helpful if people added more details rather than just posting an image.

Isn’t it from the below advertisement for one of their articles?

What do you mean?

The description says “police spent the day at a property after a man’s body was found inside by firefighters” but the picture and caption is of Whoppi Goldberg.

“Hollywood icon announces huge partnership with Aussie sport” is advertised underneath the initial story and link (of course the typical sensationalist “huge” added there for impact to the dimwits).

I know it looks ambiguous the way it is laid out there, but there are two possible options there for the image.

I don’t understand at all what you are saying.

Read the description at the top.

That’s what I think the poster is trying to point out.

They’re two different stories.

As I said I know it looks ambiguous but there’s two different things there because they have not segregated the story from the ad properly:

Red is the story, green is the unrelated ad from them.
