History and profile

[edit]

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,[1] and adopted its current name in 1946–47.[3][4][5][6]

News Weekly adheres to the five primacies[7] of the National Civic Council: "natural family as the basic unit of society", decentralisation, "integrity of the individual", patriotism, and "Judeo-Christian virtues".[1]

According to the Kempsey Library listing, News Weekly provides analysis of current cultural, social, political, educational, and economic trends in Australia, focusing on ethics.[8]

In 1955, it had a circulation of 30,000 copies.[9]

Associated groups include the Thomas More Centre and the Australian Family Association.[1]
