There are many online sources for news and information on the Sunshine Coast. ABC Sunshine Coast and the regional newspaper’s website are good options, and you can also subscribe to their news feed. Both newspapers have a wide variety of articles and information to keep you informed about the region. In the first part of this article, we looked at the newspaper’s circulation. We also looked at the Sunshine Coast Daily’s competition and its readers. We found that the paper had an overall decline in circulation from its peak in the early 2000s.

The ‘Pig ‘N’ Whistle’ pub on the Sunshine Coast was named a quiet achiever in a recent study. Median house prices jumped 40 per cent in a year. In other news, a Maroochydore man stole $1000 from a friend’s online bank account, then lied about paying it back. He was arrested nearly a year later, but was able to pay the money back. Meanwhile, a newly-opened restaurant in Caloundra will employ an experienced Italian chef and feature an Italian pizza oven imported from Italy.

The Sunshine Coast Daily’s image was also controversial and the state government made an official complaint to the Australian Press Council. The paper was initially accused of making a “dangerous” image of the premier in gunshot crosshairs, with the aim of drawing attention to Labor’s poor performance in the Queensland federal election. The image was widely condemned by the public and infuriated the Queensland government. The acting police minister claimed the image could ‘incite violence’.
