Page Masters

What Page Masters does

Page Masters is an Australian media services company that has operated for more than 30 years, producing and licensing editorial content for publishers and broadcasters. It operates as a subsidiary of Mediality Group alongside Medianet and Mediality Racing, serving more than 100 customers across Australia and New Zealand from offices in Melbourne, Sydney, and New Zealand. The core product portfolio comprises four content verticals (crosswords and puzzles, TV guides, quizzes, and finance content), supplemented by two service lines: custom publishing and AI-assisted comment moderation.

The content products are delivered under licensing or subscription arrangements, while custom publishing engagements are sold on a project basis to media organisations seeking tailored editorial output. The comment moderation service combines proprietary AI tooling with human moderators who are specifically trained in defamation law, sold as a managed service to publishers facing large volumes of user-generated content. Together these offerings position Page Masters as a bridge between traditional print content supply and digital-era needs such as community management.

Go-to-market is direct B2B sales with enterprise field sales targeting major media organisations. Named customers include News Corp Australia, Daily Telegraph, Foxtel, TV Week, and the Real Estate Institute of Victoria. Revenue is diversified across content licensing and subscription, custom publishing services, and managed moderation, with no public revenue or ARR figures disclosed.
