News Limited has a national entertainment section on Thursdays – Hit – giving readers the latest information about what’s happening in their own cities from movies, to music as well as theatre and the arts.

Hit is the new destination for consumers wanting to know what’s happening locally with gig listings, music reviews and entertainment news as well as the best interviews nationally with the hottest new bands, the more established acts, stories on the biggest blockbuster movies and the most critically acclaimed arthouse flicks.

Hit has all your entertainment options covered. The section is more than just an information source – it is a critical guide to helping readers make informed choices about how to spend their leisure time.

Hit is an ideal section for advertisers who want to talk to consumers about their various entertainment options while readers are in a decision-making frame of mind.

With Hit appearing in multiple markets, national advertisers will have easier access to a consistent multi-media brand, leveraging the power of combined content with a simplified rate position to match.

With your movie or music event on the pages of Hit and online, you’ll be communicating with a fantastic and relevant national audience.
