About AFR

Source: Wikipedia
The Australian Financial Review (abbreviated to the AFR) is an Australian business-focused, compact daily newspaper covering the current business and economic affairs of Australia and the world. The newspaper is based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia; owned by Nine Entertainment and has been published continuously since its founding in 1951. In November 2019, the AFR reached 2.647 million Australians through both print and digital mediums (Mumbrella). In more recent years, its editorial stance and news coverage has become more neutral; however, the AFR is still considered moderately conservative in its reporting bias with regards to free-market regulation policies, but relatively close to the centre in its political views amongst Australian newspapers.
