Broadsheet is Australia's leading culture guide, delivering authentic, inclusive coverage of the country's evolving food, drink, arts, design, entertainment, and travel scenes. Since launching in 2009, Broadsheet has grown from a single-city publication into Australia's most successful independent media business, covering Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, and New Zealand. Broadsheet London launches in 2025.

Broadsheet aims to enrich culture and inspire a better everyday by uncovering the best experiences our cities have to offer, with a strong preference for what's local and independent.

The editorial team works with leading writers, photographers, and designers to produce high-quality stories from original sources. The team adheres strictly to journalism's core ethics of truth, accuracy, and fairness, while carefully curating the mix of stories to ensure that only the most interesting people and places are featured.

Beyond being a city guide, Broadsheet has become a trusted and highly credible advisor for its audience-a community of intelligent, engaged, and culturally curious people who actively seek out great experiences. From in-depth features, explainers, and recipes to curated best-of guides and exclusive insights into local businesses and the people behind them, Broadsheet fosters a deep connection between its readers and their cities.

Each month, millions of people check in with Broadsheet on its website, newsletters, and socials, but the publisher also connects with readers through print papers, books (eight, to date), events, and innovative projects such as pop-up restaurants and a membership program, Broadsheet Access.

This commitment to excellence has earned Broadsheet multiple industry accolades over 15 years. Recently this has included Mumbrella's Media Brand of the Year (2022, 2024) and Publishing Company of the Year (2022, 2023, 2024), as well as B&T's Best Media Platform (2024).

Driven by a passion for storytelling and a relentless pursuit of innovation, Broadsheet continues to experiment with new formats and platforms to surprise, inform, and entertain its audience. At its core, Broadsheet exists so readers can experience the very best of the places they live, now and into the future."
