About MediaChannel
MediaChannel is an independent Australian newspaper founded in 2026 by a group of recently graduated journalism students who believed the country deserved rigorous, fact-checked news without the noise. We started small, with a shared commitment to accuracy, fairness, and plain-language storytelling that respects our readers' intelligence.
What we cover
Our editorial team publishes original reporting across four core areas: sports, business, life, and technology. Whether it is the latest result on the field, a shift in the local economy, a story about how Australians are living today, or a breakthrough in the tech world, we aim to cover it thoroughly and honestly.
Our editorial mission
Every story published on MediaChannel goes through a fact-checking process before it reaches you. Our editors hold themselves to a high standard: verify first, publish second. We are not driven by clicks or advertising pressure. We are driven by the public interest.
Who we are
The team behind MediaChannel is made up of early-career journalists, editors, and digital producers based in Australia. We are proudly independent, with no corporate ownership or political affiliation. Our readers are our most important stakeholders.
A new kind of newsroom
Being founded in 2026 means we were built for the modern reader. We are a digital-first publication, designed to be read on any device, at any time. We are always looking to grow, improve, and earn your trust with every article we publish.
