Seven West Media, the company behind The Nightly, is one of Australia's most prominent media companies, reaching more than 19 million people a month.

"The feedback we are getting is that readers are loving The Nightly's fresh voice, its no-nonsense journalism and forthright opinion. Readers are clearly enjoying getting ahead of the news through an afternoon paper delivered directly into their inbox every evening. They love the bold front pages and the clean, modern designs, both of our digital edition and our website," said The Nightly Editor, Sarah-Jane Tasker.

"We have created a news brand, an entirely new national product, and accumulated a monthly audience of 2.3 million in four months – that is a sensational result. Already we have an audience 90% the size of The Australian Financial Review and 65% the size of The Australian. There has never been a new media brand launch quite like it, and we are only just getting started," said Editor-in-Chief, Christopher Dore.
