The Australian Financial Review

Fairfax Limited is bleeding cash, their masthead newspapers of The Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's counterpart The Age are mere shells of what used to be journalistic integrity - not any more. Fortunately The Australian Financial Review has not suffered the same indignity as the SMH and Age newspapers as investigative reporting is still practiced the AFR.

Whilst The Australian Financial Review is not The Wall Street Journal, the AFR is an excellent round-up of the business news of not only Australia, but Asia-Pacific in general. Naturally global business news is covered but the emphasis is on Australian business news; whilst the major Australian newspapers cover business news - the AFR knows business. Whilst I wouldn't make any major financial decisions made on the advice on any articles, the AFR offers the reader an extensive but broad overview of the contemporary Australian business environment. It's a pretty decent financial newspaper and I'm happy to support this newspaper.
