BRAND OVERVIEW

A stalwart of the region’s collective culture since 1854, our print edition is read by downtown Melburnians and dyed-in-the-wool regional Victorians alike. Actually it’s not just ‘read’. The Age also challenges and reaches out to its demanding readership, whose high standards push our team every day to present each story in more depth. Each day, the paper is put together by an award-winning team of editors, reporters, political correspondents, photographers and category specialists, who bring readers the news right as it unfolds. Our team strives to portray a spectrum of viewpoints – urban and rural, conservative and progressive, private and public. Because we understand, deeply, that there’s never just one way of interpreting the news. The Age also offers riveting lifestyle content like food, travel, entertainment, health and real estate. Our sought-after supplements include the daily BusinessDay and Sports Day, and the weekend Spectrum, Good Weekend and Sunday Life. Each one connects with niche readerships in a way unmatched by our competitors. PANPA 2013 Newspaper of the Year PANPA 2012 Sunday Newspaper of the Year PANPA 2011 Newspaper of the Year

Our tablet readers are digital natives who demand (and relish) being able to scroll, click, flip and share our pages of award-winning content. They’re always moving, tablets in hand – checking The Age between client presentations, over lunch, or unwinding in the evenings with some vibrant content (and maybe a little online shopping). Because we are talking to a rather special category of reader, we’re very particular about how we curate content for the tablet edition. It’s a compelling selection of breaking news, feature articles, infographics, videos and archive content – so readers can always track down that exhibition listing or live show they forgot to bookmark last week, or that divine new wine bar perfect for tonight’s date. In other words, an optimal blend of news on tap, plus content and campaign longevity.
