I find the ABC is still pretty good and is where I get most of my political analysis and current affairs (4 Corners, Foreign Correspondent, Insiders and so on). Their print side is reporting not in-depth journalism but decent enough for that. The opinion section occasionally has an interesting read. For print media there are a few online alternatives springing up. http://www.theglobalmail.org/ http://newmatilda.com/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/ The first is run from a philanthropic donation and is probably the most promising. The other two are more straight commentary. I think The Punch is Murdoch owned but not as obviously biased as The Australian in its headline selection, story focus etc. I also know of one overseas crowd-funded journalism effort: http://www.propublica.org/ But if you are looking for an actual hard copy newspaper containing good journalism you are out of luck :( On 20 June 2012 12:10, Trent W.

The obvious solution would be to keep reading them. In the last six months I've certainly read more articles from the Guardian than I have from the Age or SMH... _______________________________________________ luv-talk mailing list luv-talk@lists.luv.asn.au http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-talk
