Sydney Morning Herald
The Sydney Morning Herald is Australia's oldest continuously published newspaper, based in Sydney and known for its centrist-liberal editorial stance and investigative journalism. Its coverage of the 2024 US election was heavily focused on Trump (100 headlines) and the US (100 headlines), both treated critically, while domestic coverage of Australia was neutral, highlighting a stark contrast in tone between international and local reporting.
