The Post-Courier
The Post-Courier is the nation’s first daily newspaper, established on 30 June 1969 and headquartered in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Majority owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp Australia, the publication was formed through the merger of two newspapers: the three-days-a-week South Pacific Post and the twice-weekly New Guinea Times Courier. The newspaper operates as Papua New Guinea’s primary daily publication, claiming an audited circulation of 26,262. It serves a predominantly urban readership with its news coverage and reporting. The Post-Courier has, according to its editorial board, an influential voice within Papua New Guinea’s media landscape, playing a crucial role in informing public discourse and maintaining its position as “the country’s leading newspaper publication.”
