Highly concentrated ownership defines the national print media market, with News Corp and Nine Entertainment controlling the vast majority of circulation. The flagship national daily is the centre-right broadsheet The Australian, owned by News Corp, which also publishes mass-market tabloids like Melbourne's Herald Sun and Sydney's The Daily Telegraph. Nine Entertainment operates the country's oldest continuously published paper, the centre-left leaning Sydney Morning Herald, alongside its Melbourne stablemate, The Age. Beyond the major metropolitan centres, regional dailies and rural weeklies play a crucial role in covering remote states and agricultural communities.
