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. 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.
The Saturday Paper is published by Morry Schwartz via Schwartz Media, which also publishes books via Black Inc, the magazine The Monthly and the Quarterly Essay. Upon its launch Schwartz stated he expected The Saturday Paper to be profitable within several years, and the paper should sell "between 60,000 and 80,000 copies a week".
Weekly contributors include journalists Paul Bongiorno, Karen Middleton, Mungo MacCallum, Martin McKenzie-Murray, Mike Seccombe and cartoonist Geoff Pryor.
Other regular contributors include authors David Marr, Christos Tsiolkas, Margaret Simons, Richard Flanagan, Robert Dessaix, Leigh Sales, Clem Bastow and Helen Razer, ex-Federal MPs Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott, artist Patrick Hartigan and musicians Dave Faulkner and Robert Forster.
