'The 'NT News' has been the Northern Territory's main newspaper for over 50 years and has outlived all competitors. It has a circulation of 47,000 on weekdays that reaches 55,000 on Saturdays and thus far it is defying the national trend towards a decline in circulation of print media. The 'NT News' is a subsidiary of News Limited owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.' (Source: Abstract)
