A Trusted Name Since 1951

Founded in 1951 as a weekly print newspaper, the Australian Financial Review began with a simple but powerful mission: to deliver factual, in-depth coverage of financial markets, economic policy, and the evolving business landscape in Australia. Over the decades, the AFR has grown from a weekly to a bi-weekly in 1961 and then to a daily publication by 1963. This steady progression mirrored the growing demand for reliable financial news in a rapidly developing country.

Today, the AFR is published in tabloid format six times a week, reaching a broad audience of professionals and decision-makers.

Owned by Nine Entertainment

In 2018, Nine Entertainment acquired the AFR as part of its purchase of Fairfax Media. Since then, the publication has continued to evolve, innovating its digital platforms and expanding its reach beyond traditional print. As of November 2019, the AFR had a combined print and digital audience of 2.647 million Australians, a figure that speaks volumes about its authority and trustworthiness in the financial journalism space.

Strong Online Presence

The AFR has embraced digital transformation head-on. Its 24/7 online news platform ensures readers have access to breaking news, market movements, economic reports, and in-depth analysis anytime, anywhere. With premium content available via subscription, the AFR website caters to a professional audience looking for credible, detailed information that matters in today’s fast-moving economy.

Weekend and Magazine Publications

In 1995, the AFR expanded its offerings with a supplementary weekend paper and a variety of magazines. These additions provide readers with lifestyle, property, and investment insights that go beyond the daily grind. Whether it’s luxury living, executive travel, or in-depth features on influential business leaders, the AFR weekend editions bring a fresh dimension to the publication.
