News Weekly is an Australian current affairs magazine, published by the National Civic Council, with its main headquarters in Balwyn, Victoria.[1][2] It also has offices in Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia and South Australia.[3]
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][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]
