News Weekly is an Australian current affairs magazine, published by the National Civic Council, with its main headquarters in Balwyn, Victoria. It also has offices in Queensland, New South Wales, Western Australia and South Australia.
News Weekly was founded by B. A. Santamaria and first published in September 1943, under the name Freedom; it later changed its name to Australia's national news-weekly. It changed its name to its current name in 1946–47.
News Weekly adheres to the five primacies of the National Civic Council; promoting the national interest, assisting small enterprise, supporting the family, fostering the tested values derived from Judeo-Christian heritage and defending life.
According to the Kempsey Library listing, News Weekly provides analysis of current cultural, social, political, educational, and economic trends in Australia, focusing on ethics.
In 1955, it had a circulation of 30,000 copies. The magazine's current editor is Peter Kelleher.
