The Papua New Guinea Post-Courier
It was established on 30 June 1969. Its parent company, The Herald and Weekly Times (later purchased by News Corp Australia), had acquired what had then been the two main newspapers in Papua New Guinea, the three-days-a-week South Pacific Post and the twice-weekly New Guinea Times Courier, and decided to amalgamate them into one publication. It was the first national daily newspaper in Papua New Guinea.
Luke Sela was editor from 1978 to 2000.
With a circulation of 41,000, the Post-Courier is the largest selling Pacific Island newspaper. The paper is majority owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. The Post-Courier’s readership is mainly urban, and it is considered being influential in the community.
The National
Papua New Guinea, in the southwestern Pacific, encompasses the eastern half of New Guinea and its offshore islands. A country of immense cultural and biological diversity, it’s known for its beaches and coral reefs. Inland are active volcanoes, granite Mt. Wilhelm, dense rainforest and hiking routes like the Kokoda Trail. There are also traditional tribal villages, many with their own languages.
