Newspapers and Media Guide
The only two major Melbourne daily newspapers and media are The Age and The Herald Sun.
There is a distinct rivalry between devotees of these two, with The Age long being seen as the more highbrow and liberal broadsheet paper that discusses the ´serious issues´ and the Herald Sun being dismissed (by Age readers) as being ´tabloid trash´.
There is a third daily newspaper (owned by the Herald Sun) that is free and distributed specifically at public transport points. The purpose of this paper (called the MX) is a light read that lasts about as long as the commute home, and requires no thought to absorb.
International Newspapers and Media
Because there is such a high immigrant population in Melbourne, you can find international newspapers in almost all of the larger Newsagents.
