Frequently asked questions
Everything you might want to know about The Daily Melbourne.
- What is The Daily Melbourne?
- The Daily Melbourne is an independent local news service for Melbourne, published every day. We cover local government, business, community life, property, courts and the institutions that shape Melbourne.
- How much does it cost?
- Reading The Daily Melbourne is free, and our daily morning newsletter is free to subscribe to. We may introduce optional paid memberships in future, but our core local coverage stays free.
- How do I subscribe to the newsletter?
- Enter your email in any subscribe form on the site, or visit our subscribe page. You'll get a short, free briefing of the day's Melbourne news every weekday morning.
- How does The Daily Melbourne produce its journalism?
- Our articles are generated by AI from named, publicly available sources that we link in every piece. Before anything publishes it passes an automated editorial screen, and anything naming a person in connection with crime, courts or misconduct is held for human review.
- Are your articles written by AI?
- Yes — articles are AI-assisted and bylined to the publication or desk rather than an invented human author. We never use fake personas or fabricated bios. See our editorial standards page for the full explanation of what is automated and what a human controls.
- How do I report a correction or an error?
- We correct errors quickly and transparently. Use the "Suggest a correction" link at the bottom of any article, or our contact page. When we update a piece we note the change on the record.
- Can I submit an event, tip or story idea?
- Absolutely. Use our "Send us a tip" page for news tips and our "Submit an event" page to add something to the Melbourne events diary. We read everything that comes in.
- Can I advertise or sponsor The Daily Melbourne?
- Yes. We offer newsletter sponsorships and on-site placements. See our media kit and sponsor pages for audience stats and options. All paid content is clearly labelled in line with our sponsored content policy.
