Editorial signature
Melbourne's masthead since 1854, The Age shares the Nine investigative unit with the Sydney Morning Herald and has driven the reporting on Lawyer X / Nicola Gobbo, the Crown casino royal commission and Victorian Labor branch-stacking. Coverage carries a distinct Victorian sensibility on public transport, AFL and state-Labor politics, and the masthead historically endorses Labor more often than the Coalition at federal elections.
