Where can Australians find trustworthy news and opinion?
If it is true as some assert that federal Labor cannot win elections in Australia because the mainstream media continually misrepresent its record, then what is the solution? One strategy is to replace those outlets with media which deliver trustworthy news. Alan Austin reports.
Fortunately, Australia does have reliable sources of information. So what are they, and how are they shaping up as viable alternatives?
There are at least twelve. Some are well-established, others struggling. Promising start-ups to have collapsed in recent years include The Global Mail, The Hoopla and NoFibs. So the attrition rate is high. Michael West, which started in July 2016, is the only successful new entrant since The Saturday Paper in early 2014.
