If you’re not Australian, you won’t care…
But if you are, you might.
What the hell is happening to the quality of this newspaper? The Age is supposedly one of the top three quality broadsheets in Australia.
Have a look at this front page and weep. Keep going down this track, and people who like a different diet of news will happily source it from places all over the world. Not necessarily newspapers either.

Thanks for the tip on Katie’s post Gavin. It’s fantastic. I wonder if some traditional journalists would also qualify this as “the unfiltered opinion of the common (wo)man”…Like I said in a comment to Katie’s post: I haven’t read anything as insightful on this topic in any of the major newspapers yet.
