Drum Media is a Sydney icon. The people behind Drum virtually invented what has come to be known as street press. The originator and still the best, Drum’s enlightening and entertaining insight into the world of music, film and art has been copied in every city around the country.
Drum has earned a reputation that ranks it alongside international benchmarks. Think the UK’s NME crossed with New York’s Village Voice with an entertainingly Australian irreverence. For over 15 years, Drum has been covering every inch of the entertainment scene, profiling international performers and events and, most importantly, fostering Australian art and artists. Drum has also proved a fertile breeding ground for dynamic new journalism, design and has launched the careers of many music industry luminaries. Published and read by over 125,000 people weekly, Drum is distributed to over 800 carefully targeted pubs, clubs, cafes and stores throughout greater Sydney. With a primary focus on the17-35 demographic, Drum specialises in contemporary popular music - rock, punk, metal, blues and roots. In depth features, profiles and reviews by some of the country’s leading journalists, specialist columns and an exhaustive gig guide make essential weekly reading for Sydney’s youth.
IL GLOBO : The first edition of the Italian Australia newspaper ‘Il Globo’ went to print on the 4th of November, 1959, with just a few broadsheet pages. Established in Melbourne by Tarcisio Valmorbida and Ubaldo Larobina, Il Globo has since become one of the most significant institutions of the Italian Community in Australia. ‘Il Globo’ reports not only issues and news regarding Italy and Australia but also on the specific issues that relate to the local Italian Australian community in WA, SA NT & VIC.
Not only was Il Globo meeting the information needs of Australia’s Italians, but well before welfare groups and cultural associations were established, they it was a point of reference for the newly arrived Italian immigrants.
Today published daily, five days per week, Il Globo meets the information needs of the Italian community by providing a variety of news including Australian, Italian, and world news, sport, health and women’s issues, leisure, community and entertainment news, magazine section, and TV and radio supplements.
Each Wednesday’s edition of Il Globo includes a supplement in English.
It remains a strong and authoritative presence in Australian media, and continues its tradition of giving voice to concerns of the Italian community since its establishment in 1959.
