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] [7]

News Weekly adheres to the five primacies [8] of the National Civic Council: "natural family as the basic unit of society", decentralisation, "integrity of the individual", patriotism, and "Judeo-Christian virtues". [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. [9]

In 1955, it had a circulation of 30,000 copies. [10]

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