Western Australia is home to a rich and diverse media landscape, featuring a variety of print, broadcast, and digital outlets that cater to the state’s metropolitan and regional areas. Among the state's most prominent print publications are two daily newspapers: The West Australian, owned by Seven West Media, and the Kalgoorlie Miner. In addition to these, The Weekend West and a Sunday tabloid, The Sunday Times, both owned by Seven West Media, serve as key weekend news sources. Western Australia also boasts 17 weekly community newspapers, as well as major rural publications like Countryman and Farm Weekly, providing localized news across vast regions. The Australian, a national broadsheet, is also available, though it has a smaller readership per capita in WA compared to other states. For online news, WAtoday, owned by Nine Entertainment, offers in-depth coverage focusing on Perth and wider Western Australia.

Television in Western Australia is equally diverse, with five main metropolitan stations: ABC TV WA, SBS WA, Seven Network Perth, Nine Network Perth, and Network Ten Perth. The state also has a large regional broadcast presence, including the Golden West Network (GWN7), WIN Television WA, and West Digital Television, all of which serve extensive areas across the state. Digital multichannels are available for most broadcasters, including niche options like ABC Me, SBS Viceland, and 7mate, offering a variety of content across genres. While Perth once had community channels such as West TV and Access 31, these ceased broadcasting in recent years, leaving a gap in local TV offerings.

In the radio landscape, Perth is well-served by a wide range of stations on both AM and FM frequencies. ABC stations like ABC Radio Perth and Triple J are popular, alongside six major commercial stations such as Nova 93.7, Mix 94.5, and 96FM. The community radio sector is vibrant, with stations such as Curtin FM 100.1, RTRFM 92.1, and Sonshine FM 98.5 providing diverse content, including music, news, and local programming.

For those seeking Pay TV services, Foxtel offers satellite access across most regions, with cable services available in some metropolitan areas. This broad range of media outlets ensures that Western Australians have access to diverse news, entertainment, and cultural programming, helping them stay connected to local, national, and international events.
