SYDNEY, NSW. — The Australian Financial Review is a compact daily (formerly broadsheet) newspaper published six days a week by Nine Media (formerly Fairfax Media), as part of one of the largest media companies in Australia and New Zealand.
The publication aims to provide an independent source of business, investment, financial and political news.
The Australian Financial Review was launched on August 16, 1951 as a weekly newspaper.
From October 1961 it was produced bi-weekly, and in 1963 it became a daily newspaper from Monday to Friday.
In February 1995, a magazine supplement, the Australian Financial Review Magazine, was introduced. Forty-six years after the newspaper’s launch, on September 6, 1997, the first Saturday edition was published.
