With over 190 years of shared history, our Publishing mastheads have long been the premier record of truth and independent journalism for all Australians. Our stable includes The Australian Financial Review, The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, Brisbane Times, WAtoday and nine.com.au.
Our team of over 800 passionate journalists, editors, photographers, marketers and managers are driven and passionate about what they do, working across major metropolitan mastheads, magazines, digital sites and live events - supporting each other and proud of what they have achieved together.
It is no surprise that we are consistently the most widely read news organisation in the country.

Content that sparks national conversations
Our iconic brands reach and engage millions of Australians every day, meaning your daily efforts connect to something much bigger than a standard career.
Whatever role you choose in Publishing at Nine, you will do it knowing that your contribution delivers work that matters. From breaking the news that defines the day to charting the business life of the nation, your work actively sparks the conversations that move communities forward. We play a critical role in society, and we celebrate the big occasions while staying deeply connected to everyday Australian moments.
I've learned and experienced more in the past two years than I could have imagined, from multimedia skills to covering some of the country's biggest events and talking to some of the most influential people. There's nowhere like the newsroom at the Sydney Morning Herald to challenge yourself at the heart of journalism, surrounded by some of the most accomplished and supportive people you'll meet.
One thing I love about working at The Age is that every day is different. That’s exactly what the traineeship prepared me for – from breaking news, covering business, sport and entertainment, to getting a taste of big projects. It’s a fantastic newsroom full of some of the most talented and supportive journalists in the country, making for a great environment to learn and grow in.
I still pinch myself every time I walk through the newsroom door and think: I work at the SMH! The amount of things I learned in my first year was unbelievable, and a huge privilege: I learned about the responsibility we have as reporters and found myself more confident in the rest of my life, too. The cadetship was the best thing to happen to me.
I’ve travelled and interviewed Australia’s most influential people. I’ve covered everything from breaking news to celebrity, sport and stock market machinations. Very few employers can offer the opportunities that Nine can.
