Founded in 2013 by Eric Beecher, The New Daily was established as Australia's first free, independent national news service. The idea was to provide accessible, reliable news to all Australians, countering the trend of paywalls and offering a trusted source for daily information. The New Daily is owned by Solstice Media, an Australian media company that also owns other regional news sites and publications. The current editor is Neil Frankland. Today, The New Daily covers a broad range of topics, including national and international news, politics, finance, lifestyle, health, travel, and sport. They aim to provide objective coverage of major events, with a focus on fair, balanced, and unbiased reporting. The publication is based in Australia, with its content delivered through its website and daily email newsletters. One interesting fact: A unique fact about The New Daily is that it is entirely free for all Australians, funded by advertising and sponsored content, making it unique in its commitment to providing accessible news to a mass audience.
