The Manly Daily is Australia’s only five-day-a-week community newspaper that is delivered free to homes and businesses from Manly to Palm Beach. It has been continually published for 100 years, with the first edition distributed on the famous Manly ferries in 1906.

The frequency of its delivery and unrivalled local news content has made The Manly Daily a ``must read’’ in its clearly defined circulation area of Sydney’s northern beaches. In this area, its readership surpasses that of its rivals and Sydney’s metropolitan newspapers combined.

The Manly Daily delivers all the feature sections one would expect, from real estate and motoring to business and entertainment. The paper offers two Real Estate liftouts – the most comprehensive guide to house hunting on the peninsula. Other special sections include CARSguide, Stepping Out, Profile for women’s issues, Portfolio for business issues, Seniors, Young Daily, Home Living for homemakers, Weddings, and a Weekend magazine section for the issues behind the news.

The paper also offers leisure sections including travel, bridge, astronomy, diary, daily crosswords and a television guide. Special columns cover health, counselling, church and career issues. The paper’s daily offerings are also complemented by a dedicated website, www.manlydaily.com.au

The Manly Daily’s unique status means it shares some aspects of a metropolitan or a regional daily newspaper. The key difference to The Manly Daily’s delivery of its news is its local philosophy and content. All news, sport and features in The Manly Daily are distinctly and exclusively local, making it a must read for Sydney’s northern beaches.
