Sydney, Australia, 14 July 2026: Mediaweek today unveiled its refreshed website at mediaweek.com.au, marking a major digital upgrade for one of Australia’s leading media industry publications.
The new site delivers a cleaner, faster and more modern reader experience, with improved navigation, refreshed article layouts, a dedicated podcast section, and a renewed focus on Mediaweek’s flagship editorial products, including the Morning Report.
The relaunch also introduces a refreshed brand identity for Mediaweek, improved site architecture and a cleaner visual system designed to better support breaking news, analysis, partner content and commercial campaigns.
Mediaweek Editor Natasha Lee said the relaunch marked an important step in strengthening the publication’s role as a daily destination for Australia’s media, marketing and advertising industries.
“Mediaweek already holds a leading position in Australian trade media, and this relaunch is about building on that strength,” Lee said.
“The new site makes it easier to find the stories that matter, gives our video and podcast work a better home, and creates more useful opportunities for commercial partners to align with high-quality industry coverage.
"I'm grateful for the opportunity to lead Mediaweek into this exciting next chapter."
The new Mediaweek site has been rebuilt on Vinyl Group’s centralised media CMS, first introduced through The Music Network last quarter and now being progressively rolled out across the company’s growing portfolio of owned and licensed media brands.
Vinyl Group CEO Josh Simons said: “The Mediaweek relaunch is part of a broader strategic rebuild of the company’s publishing infrastructure, now underway across all Vinyl Media sites.”
“The unification of our sites into a single CMS delivers a better reader experience with materially faster loading times, a more secure architecture, GEO and SEO-forward compatibility, and a far more efficient maintenance model where one improvement can be rolled out across multiple sites at once.”
“It also gives us the long overdue opportunity to refresh a number of our media brands, both licensed and wholly owned, which have been ready for a more modern digital expression.
“The Mediaweek project in particular was personal. It was rewarding to work alongside Tash on bringing a fun, tabloid-style design language back into vogue for a serious trade publication, while still respecting the authority Mediaweek has built over many years.”
The relaunch includes a redesigned Morning Report experience and an upgraded newsletter infrastructure, enabling faster, more reliable delivery to Mediaweek’s daily subscribers.
The new Mediaweek site is live now at mediaweek.com.au. Mediaweek is published by Vinyl Group.
