## About

In the Post-Courier's Konedobu newsroom, the clock has been running since 1969, and the website now turns over five to ten times a day. The paper calls itself the voice of PNG, yet that voice has an Australian parent in News Corp. Headlines tend to be built around what a minister, commissioner or advocate just said, so police raids, corruption appeals and tribal conflict arrive in the words of officials and campaigners.

## Profile

- **Ownership:** Published by South Pacific Post Limited, part of News Corp Australia; RSF notes local investors alongside News Corp, and Wikipedia lists a 63% News Corp stake.
- **Funding:** Commercial: newspaper sales and digital subscriptions, classifieds and client supplements; no public funding identified.
- **Focus areas:** National and provincial news across Papua New Guinea (Port Moresby, Southern, Momase, Highlands, Islands, Bougainville), business, sports, editorials and special reports, Pacific and world news.


## What the position means

TOLD classifies what an outlet publishes over time, based on ownership, funding
and focus. It describes a pattern; it is not a rating of quality and not a
ranking. Nothing in TOLD sorts, hides or promotes a source by its position.
State-aligned and partisan outlets are in the catalogue on purpose, labelled.

## Assessment note

Latest assessment: 2026-11-10. Generated with TOLD Source Prompt Brief v1.2.8. TOLD summarizes framing patterns and third-party classifications; it does not assess factual accuracy, intent, or legitimacy. External classifications: 10 (5 themes).
