Having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card. That's even more true if your version of fun includes accessing over 7000 of Australian and international newspapers and magazines. Even if you don't count it as fun, it's still a good idea.

Web/Android/iOS/Windows/Blackberry: If you read a lot of newspapers, do a ton of research, or just like the idea of seeing what the world is talking about in papers around the globe, PressReader brings them all to your browser or your smartphone, anywhere you go.

Ever need to track down an old newspaper clipping? Until recently, you'd have to head into the library's microfiche section and dig through boxes of film. Now, it's potentially as easy as heading over to Google's recently relaunched and easier-to-search news archive.

Media mistakes happen -- but sometimes their perpetrators don't realise that until it's pointed out. If your blood is boiling because of an inaccurate news story, here's how to go about making an official complaint in Australia.

Hi Lifehacker, Where I live, local newspapers are delivered by people in cars or vans who throw them on the driveway. Their aim is often terrible and if it rains the papers turn to mush. Sometimes I come home and there are three or four on my driveway, lawn or jammed in the bushes. A nearby townhouse ends up with a small mountain of papers!

The front page of a newspaper is meant to sell you on the contents inside, usually with a splashy headline, especiallly amongst the more tabloid-esque parts of the print media. Covertimes collates newspaper headlines from around the world, creating a neat collage.

iOS: PressReader is a Newsstand-like app that opts for a more traditional style of news presentation, with a twist. You can read any one of the app's selection of newspapers in a traditional layout, augment the page with highlight of headlines and other important info, or read articles in the stripped-down SmartFlow view.

Lifehacker readers don't seem too fussed about newspapers, but if you do fancy reading an actual physical paper, the Crikey Newspaper tracker -- listing locations where papers are either given away or offered for free with an admission ticket to a museum or other attraction -- could be a useful resource. It's crowdsourced, so you can add your nearest school/cafe/dodgy newsagent drop-off point to the list.

We already know Australians don't fancy the idea of paying for newspapers online. If the latest circulation figures are any guide, we don't fancy paying for them in print much either.

Publishers like Rupert Murdoch see the future of newspapers as charging for content online, but a recent study suggests most Australians aren't prepared to cough up.

Google has upped its commitment to bringing newspaper archives online, first announced in September, by buying 20 million historical pages from Paper of Record, covering the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Good news for scholars, students, and "Day you were born" print-out.gifts.

Google says it's bringing history online, one newspaper at a time with a new initiative to digitise millions of newspapers—like this article from the 1969 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on the moon landing.
