It was established on 30 June 1969. Its parent company, The Herald and Weekly Times (later purchased by News Corp Australia), had acquired what had then been the two main newspapers in Papua New Guinea, the three-days-a-week South Pacific Post and the twice-weekly New Guinea Times Courier, and decided to amalgamate them into one publication. It was the first national daily newspaper in Papua New Guinea.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article250368546 |title=HANK NELSON looks at Papua New Guinea's early newspapers . . . |newspaper=Papua New Guinea Post-courier |location=International, Australia |date=19 December 1972 |access-date=30 January 2019 |page=20 (PROGRESS IN PRINT SUPPLEMENT) |via=National Library of Australia}}
