Android app · News & Magazines
AUS & Oceania News & Newspaper is a free Android app that puts the press of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands in one place. It lists newspapers, magazines and TV news websites from every Australian state and territory, from New Zealand, and from 21 Pacific nations and territories — organised state by state and country by country — and opens each one on its own official website inside the app. Foreign-language Pacific titles can be translated as you read. There is no subscription and no sign-up, and the app collects no personal data.

Features
It is a directory, not a feed. You choose the publication; the app does not choose for you.
Pick an Australian state, New Zealand or any Pacific nation and see its newspapers, magazines and TV news sites on one screen.
Move between newspapers, magazines, TV news, sport and business without leaving the state or country you are reading.
Type a masthead to open it in seconds, or search a place to see everything published there.
A daily view of the biggest Australian, New Zealand and Oceania stories, separate from the source directory.
Turn a French‑language New Caledonian or Tahitian page into your own reading language without leaving the app.
Save the papers you read every morning and bookmark individual stories to finish later.
A light theme for daytime and a dark theme for evening reading, with a full‑screen reader mode on both.
The layout adapts to any screen, with text resizing and zoom for comfortable reading at any distance.
No subscription, no registration, no advertising and no personal data collected or shared with third parties.
How it works
Open the list, search or scroll to New South Wales, New Zealand, Fiji or anywhere else. No account, no setup questions.
Choose newspapers, magazines, TV news or sport for that place — or tap any logo straight from the grid.
The publication opens on its own official website inside the reader. Translate it, go full screen, bookmark it or send it on.
Audience
Which app
All three are free and built on the same directory. They differ in how much of the world they cover.
Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific in depth: every Australian state and territory, New Zealand end to end, and 21 Pacific nations and territories that a worldwide app has no room for. The Pacific coverage is the part you will not find elsewhere.
Install this if your reading stays in Australasia and the Pacific and you want depth rather than breadth.
Country‑first across 190+ countries, with TV news, daily headlines by country and Android TV support.
Install that one if you follow countries outside Australasia as well.
Publication‑first, with the widest catalogue and topic filters that cut across countries.
Install that one if you read by subject as much as by country.
Questions
The first eight answers are word for word the same as the FAQ in the app's Google Play description, so the store and this page never contradict each other.
Yes. Every feature is free, the app carries no advertising, and no registration is required.
Australia, New Zealand and the island nations and territories of Oceania and the Pacific.
No, it is a newspaper and magazine directory. You read each article on the publisher's own website.
Yes. It works anywhere in the world, which makes it useful for the Australian, New Zealand and Pacific diaspora.
The app itself is free. Some publishers meter or paywall their own websites.
Yes. The layout adapts to phone, tablet and TV screens, and text can be resized.
Search it by name, then bookmark it so it is one tap away next time.
No. It is an independent directory and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any publisher or broadcaster.
It is a free Android app published by News Media Lists that works as a directory of Australian, New Zealand and Pacific news websites. It organises more than 1,000 newspaper, magazine and TV news sites by state, country and category, and opens the publisher's own site when you tap one.
The Australian section covers all eight states and territories — New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. It lists national mastheads and Sunday papers alongside city and regional titles from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin, the Gold Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Geelong, Townsville and Cairns, plus Australian magazines, business and sports press and TV news channels.
Twenty‑one Pacific nations and territories are listed: Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, French Polynesia, Cook Islands, Niue, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Nauru, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Palau, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands and Norfolk Island. This is the part of the world most news apps skip entirely, and it is the main reason people install this one.
Yes. New Caledonia, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna publish in French, and the app's built‑in translation converts a page into your own reading language while you read it.
No. The app collects no personal data and shares none with third parties, as declared in its Google Play Data safety section.
No. The pages are live publisher websites and need an internet connection to load. Your bookmark list is stored on the device, so you can see what you saved, but the articles themselves open online.
Regularly, as publications launch, merge, rename or close. The directory behind the app is maintained on newsmedialists.com.
No. The app does not host, own or produce news content. It organises links to publicly available publications, which open on their publishers' own websites.
Publisher
News Media Lists (newsmedialists.com) is a global media directory covering newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television channels and news agencies worldwide. The directory is the source behind this app, its companion apps and the web directory. Every entry links to a publisher's official website; nothing is republished or mirrored.
Important. This app is an independent directory and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any publisher or broadcaster listed in it. It does not host, copy or republish any articles — it organises and links to publicly available newspapers, magazines, TV news and news websites, which open on their own sites. All mastheads, logos, broadcasts and trademarks belong to their respective owners. An internet connection is required, and some publishers apply their own paywalls or regional restrictions.
