Founded in 1993 and headquartered in Port Moresby, The National claims to be Papua New Guinea’s top-selling weekday English language newspaper. Owned by Malaysian multinational Rimbunan Hijau, a major logging corporation controlled by businessman Tiong Hiew King, the publication operates five offices in the cities of Lae, Mount Hagen, Kokopo, Madang, and Goroka. As one of Papua New Guinea’s two major daily newspapers, alongside the Post-Courier, The National operates with both print and online editions.
