From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from National Times)

The National Times, later National Times on Sunday, was an Australian weekly newspaper published by Fairfax News from 1971 to 1986.[1][2]

Background

[edit]

The paper quickly developed a reputation for accurate investigative journalism, winning four consecutive Walkley Awards for best newspaper feature in 1975, 1976, 1977 and 1978.[3][4][5] In the 1980s, it "exposed networks of influence and links between organised crime and public administration in New South Wales".[6][7]

It coincided with the publication of Nation Review (1970 to 1981), also a weekly newspaper. [8]
