The Saturday Paper is an Australian weekly newspaper, first published on 1 March 2014. It was notable for being launched in hard copy, as an online newspaper and in mobile news format.[1][2] The paper is circulated throughout Australian capital cities and major regional centres. Its coverage of current affairs, culture and Australian politics has drawn criticism and praise from media commentators.[3][4]
