balanced news sources for a South Australian
December 14, 2016 2:57 AM Subscribe
Following on from my concerns here, what daily/weekly/monthly print or radio news sources would you recommend for a South Australian in metropolitan Adelaide who flicks through The Advertiser six days a week and is concerned that he is getting only that newspaper's slant on things?
I don't have a TV, and already spend too much time online at work, so I'm wondering about print or radio journalism.
It needs to be through a South Australian lens, primarily covering local and national news, with a particular focus on political news, but also with a reasonable amount of international news and general local cultural news. Minimal tabloid content.
If it's radio, I don't want to be tuning in throughout the day; I would prefer to schedule just a half-hour program a day, or a one hour program once a week. It would have to be an evening broadcast (after 7pm) or broadast on the weekend. I have access to local FM and digital radio.

How about the Australia edition of The Guardian?

Missing the SA lens, The Saturday Paper might otherwise satisfy your needs for national, political & international news.

Not entirely serious but on instagram @shitadelaide have surprisingly informative local news and politics coverage as well as their usual pisstakes. They have a Facebook page too if you're not on insta. Definitely an antidote to the Tiser.
