About Morning Post

Local email newsletters for Australian cities, written for people who love where they live.

Our story

Morning Post is a network of daily email newsletters built for Australian cities. Each city gets its own morning briefing — local news, weather, events, and community stories, curated and written for people who care deeply about their neighbourhood.

We believe there's a real appetite for genuinely local content delivered with respect and without the noise. No algorithms, no clickbait, no doomscrolling — just a well-written 5-minute read about the place you call home, landing in your inbox before your first coffee.

Nathan Murphy
Founder, Morning Post

Morning Post grew out of a simple observation: the people who care most about their city — who attend the markets, who know the barista's name, who notice when a heritage building gets a new coat of paint — are the same people being underserved by the news. I built this for them.

Our approach

What makes us different

Written for grown-ups

No clickbait. No doom-scrolling. No algorithmic rage. Just clear, respectful information about your city and what's happening in it.

Hyper-local, not national

We don't repackage national news. Every story is about your city. Your events. Your community. Your local history.

Community-first

Reader comments, local recommendations, and a daily question for you to have your say. This is a conversation, not a broadcast.

Free forever

No paywalls. No subscription fatigue. Supported by local sponsors who believe in reaching engaged readers.
