Post subject: Sterotypes of Newspaper you Read | |

This comes from the Gameday Thread.
I said that People who read the Herald Sun watch Commercial TV in CH 7-9-10
and
People who read the Age and Australian watch Channel SBS and ABC because they want to look Different and Smarter then there HS and Commerical TV People.
You Agree? _________________ I am Da Man

I think you're largely correct, though it's not really about 'wanting' to look a certain way. It's just that different people are drawn more to different types of news sources – broadly speaking, the former group tend to prefer more entertaining, easier to digest and conservative (though not necessarily Liberal Party-aligned) journalism, whereas the latter tend to prefer more big-picture stories, serious news and a more progressive angle.
It's a lot more complex than that, though, when you factor in the kind of people who read The Australian (conservative but generally better educated), who would be more likely to watch the ABC over the commercial TV stations but might be more likely to listen to Alan Jones than ABC radio.
And let's not forget that Fairfax, which owns The Age, also owns 3AW radio, which is more likely to appeal to Herald Sun readers. And then you have to factor in Internet news sites, where The Age site is more or less for celebrity gossip nowadays whereas The Guardian has stepped in to fill that mainstream centre-left position. There are also big differences between the readerships of the Herald Sun website and its slightly more politically progressive (but equally trashy) news.com.au, which is generally aimed at younger readers. So, the demographics are a bit more complex than they might seem. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Sorry to shoehorn American politics into this, but here's what I reckon the supporters of each candidate would probably read if they were visiting Australia:
Donald Trump: The Herald Sun/nothing
John Kasich: The Australian
Hillary Clinton: The Age
Bernie Sanders: Red Flag
Ted Cruz: Creation Magazine
Marco Rubio: N/A (trick question – he doesn't have any supporters) _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

I read The Australian, watch Netflix and illegal downloads and consume my news and current affairs via the internet, mainly Drudge Report, Breitbart and Russia Today. News.com.au for Australian stuff. |

Do agree the Australian has that Feel it is more for the Educated and I also get that Feel a little bit from The Age.

Also the Australian seems more for the Well Educated and Upper Class People. Age also has it but not as bad
Herald Sun is more for the Working Class _________________ I am Da Man |

Not really – I'm sure there are many Herald Sun readers who'd agree with you.
For the record, I read The Guardian, Crikey and occasionally the ABC site for local news and The New Yorker, The New York Times and The Atlantic for international news. I listen to Radio National and Newsradio (which often broadcasts the BBC World Service) and occasionally switch on ABC News 24 or SBS. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

I was going to go with Green Left Weekly, but that one somehow seemed more apt. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

It's on the university entrance exam.

"Do you watch ABC. Or Chaneel idiot box 9?" 9 - 0 points

The age and 9 gets you a teaching degree,

Age and ABC (and a secret stash of people and truth) bingo, politician _________________ You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either! |
