I know that too an extent newspapers still set the conversation, but no one under 40 outside of a doctors waiting room is reading these rags

News.com, might be a different story

Poor poor Murdoch.

I hate to say it, but I gotta pay The Australian front page, not for content, but design-wise.

  1. Quite a witty cartoon lampooning the Treasurer
  2. Theres a decent number of words on the frontpage, like a proper amount. Each section probably leads in to an article of dubious merit, but its more than the bloviating headlines of the rest.

Theres a decent number of words on the frontpage, like a proper amount.

The Australian has the distinct advantage of being a broadsheet, but I think even on a per cm^2^ basis they've prioritised content. They tend to be a bit less bombastic and more 'substantial', at least superficially.
