Print overview

Canberra-print
Audiences in Australia’s capital territory are on average younger, higher earning and more politically influential than anywhere else in Australia. Their clout is undeniable, which is why balance, perspective and depth are intrinsic to our reporting. Canberra Times readers demand the full story – explored from all angles, drawn from reliable sources, reported and photographed right as the news breaks and analysed in depth afterwards. The weekday edition contains the top news, sport, business, editorial and opinion pieces, plus arts, entertainment and movie listings. Weekly inserts such as TV Guide, and Food & Wine are brands in their own right, rich in advertiser possibilities. On weekends the Times expands in size, delivering even more choice to our demanding readers. Saturday Canberra Times Our Saturday edition is packed with content designed to help readers stay at the top of their game. In-depth analysis, business, money and current affairs are matched with a range of targeted specialty sections. Panorama caters to Canberra’s above-average interest in the arts. Domain offers hot property tips and detailed suburb listings, plus news from other capitals so our readers can keep an eye on their investments interstate. MyCareer is the Canberran employers’ preferred platform for attracting top talent. Each of these brands offers rich creative solutions for our advertising partners. Sunday Canberra Times The Sunday Canberra Times offers an in-depth read of current affairs, events and lifestyle – a delectable blend of fact and fashion that keeps readers turning pages throughout the day, long after breakfast is done. They might start their day with the news, world, opinion, finance, Sunday Property, CT Kids Club, Out and About social pages, games or sport. They’ll return to their paper later for more leisurely reading – the news analysis, perhaps, or Sunday Focus. Diving deep into the issues that stir our readers, this section carries stories from Fairfax’s leading journalists, columnists and editors.
