Australian Internet News Sites
This page lists the major sources of Internet news in Australia. Most of the sites listed here are monthly print publications (though some are not). The primary interest of all media listed here is the Internet, and these media are the best sources of up-to-date specialist Internet information in Australia outside the computing sections of the Daily News media.

Australian Webmaster

Australia's former monthly magazine for Internet webmasters, recently sold to the WideWest media group and currently awaiting a relaunch.

Internet.AU

Australia's second-oldest monthly Internet magazine. Features daily Internet news stories, an extensive archive of detailed site reviews from the magazine, online copies of the month's major feature stories, a well-presented FAQ section and an extensive feedback area. The appeal of the site is dented slightly by continuously rotating banner ads in a framed area, so this link bypasses the frames completely. The site itself offers considerable depth of content.

Online World

A truly bizarre site and difficult to describe, Online World is part of IDG's extensive Internet presence and is probably intended as the glue to bind disparate parts together (though it's sometimes difficult to see the precise connection). Features ComputerWorld daily news headlines, downloadable software area, book reviews, an IDG site search facility, feature stories from IDG publications and a site listing service co-sponsored by Wide West Media. Frames are not well-behaved - but great fun, all the same.
