News Corp Australia’s State & Community mastheads, including The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, The Courier-Mail and The Advertiser, have introduced a new campaign putting journalists front and centre, and is aimed at showcasing the publisher's "breadth of content and 'commitment to trusted, relevant journalism".

After 13 years in senior leadership roles, including a decade as editor, Lenore Taylor has decided to leave Guardian Australia. Taylor was a founding senior staff member of Guardian Australia when it launched in May 2013, and as political editor she played a key role in its early and ongoing success, bringing a quarter of a century of federal press gallery experience to the role. In 2014 she won one of Guardian Australia’s first Walkley awards and was recognised by her peers as the Australian press gallery journalist of the year. Her reputation and profile as one of Australia’s leading political journalists was instrumental in forging Guardian Australia’s reputation as a newcomer in the Australian media landscape. In May 2016 Taylor was appointed editor of Guardian Australia, the first Australian to hold the position. Under her editorship the edition has expanded significantly, and Guardian Australia now sits as the fourth most-read news site in the country. &ld

Morning, welcome to Wednesday and yes sometimes it takes a cartoon to nail it, and today we have just that thanks to David Rowe's excellent illustration running in The Australian Financial Review. And yes the commentary over Monday's protest about the presence of Israel's president Isaac Herzog who is visiting Australia to give support to those affected by the Bondi attack, as well as the wider Jewish community, continues with a vengeance.  The fallout from the protest - and in particular police violence as clearly captured on video clips - gets two very different media approaches this morning. It was reckoned there was anywhere between 5000 and 25,000 at the Monday event and The Australian labels them the "Hard Left" (using caps, as if there is an official group and that is their name). The story is covered in very different ways by media today. The Oz's main front page piece ('PM stares down Hard Left

India’s media industry is steadily expanding, with newsrooms welcoming a new generation of interns who bring fresh ideas, perspectives, and voices. This shift is visible across organisations such as Firstpost, ANI, Times Network, Republic World, and Delhi Press, where internships have increasingly become gateways for students to gain exposure to digital and broadcast journalism. Internship opportunities are now more visible than ever, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn, where media organisations regularly invite applications from aspiring journalists. This growing demand challenges the long-standing belief that journalism offers limited career prospects. As newsrooms adapt to digital transformation, global developments, and evolving storytelling formats, journalism remains closely tied to real-world events and public discourse, opening new pathways for young professionals. India’s newsroom internship culture is expanding in scale and significance. According to an I
