History and profile

News Weekly was founded by B. A. Santamaria and first published in September 1943, under the name Freedom. It later changed its name to Australia's national news-weekly,[3] and adopted its current name in 1946–47.[4][5][5][6]

News Weekly adheres to the five primacies of the National Civic Council: promoting the national interest, assisting small enterprise, supporting the family, fostering the tested values derived from Judeo-Christian heritage and defending life.[3]

According to the Kempsey Library listing, News Weekly provides analysis of current cultural, social, political, educational, and economic trends in Australia, focusing on ethics.[7]

In 1955, it had a circulation of 30,000 copies.[8]

Associated groups include the Thomas More Centre and the Australian Family Association.[3]

gollark: As someone with small hands it might be annoying but on the other hand does possibly make it easier to use the buttons.
gollark: Actually, if it's upside down they'll be on the other side too, remember?
gollark: That would actually be more convenient for me during most of my phone use, though it would be a bit weird.
