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.
