The New Daily has announced that it has, according to their own article, entered the top 20 Australian news sites. It was established only three years ago and is unique in that it is not owned by any existing player (such as Nine, ABC, News Corp).
Alan Kohler, who quit The Australian at the end of November after eight years, will join The New Daily as business columnist in January 2021, and will continue his finance analysis gig on ABC News.
The New Daily is facing scrutiny on a content-sharing arrangement with the ABC.
The Guardian Australia’s Amanda Meade writes today that The New Daily is making cuts to staff. Contributors have been cut back, some writers have been let go.
