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.
