	Herald & Weekly Times: Overview
		This note covers the Melbourne-based Herald and Weekly Times group, the publisher and broadcaster acquired by Rupert Murdoch in 1987.
		As chair of Herald and Weekly Times he appointed Keith Murdoch as editor of the group's flagship daily Herald in 1920 and was thereafter overshadowed by his protege.
		The Herald and Weekly Times extended its interests - by 1935 it and chief executive Murdoch had stakes in 11 of the 65 Australian commercial radio stations - and enjoyed a good war.

	Herald-Sun
		In its heyday The Herald had a circulation of almost 600,000 readers but by the time of its 150th birthday in 1990, with the impact of evening television news and more people using cars as a means for transport rather than trains or trams, The Heralds circulation had fallen to just under 200,000 readers.
		The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd was faced with the choice of either closing The Herald which would mean a massive lay off of employees or merging it with its morning sister paper The Sun News-Pictorial and combining the best journalists and features from both papers in a new newspaper.
		Its ferocious anti-Labor editorial tone (at the time) is said to have contributed significantly to the downfall of the Labor government of Joan Kirner in 1992, though the extent to which that is true is impossible to estimate.

	Australia, Theophanous v The Herald and the Weekly Times Limited and Another

		Guardian Newspapers Ltd. (No.2) ((32) (1990) 1 AC 109 at 283-284.) that, in the field of freedom of speech, there was no difference in principle between English law on the subject and Art.10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
		At the same time, it cannot be said to be in the public interest or conducive to the working of democratic government if anyone were at liberty to publish false and damaging defamatory matter free from any responsibility at all in relation to the accuracy of what is published.

	Herald Sun at AllExperts
		The Herald Sun is a conservative tabloid newspaper in Melbourne, Australia, published by The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd, a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.
		The Herald and Weekly Times Ltd was faced with the choice of either closing The Herald which would have meant a massive lay off of employees or merging it with its morning sister paper The Sun News-Pictorial and combining journalists and features from both papers in a new newspaper.
		Left-wing critics say that it is biased to the right-wing, with some arguing that it reflects the view of one-time socialist, now conservative Rupert Murdoch who is the chief executive officer of the Herald Sun's parent company.

		Murdoch remained with the Herald and Weekly Times for the next thirty years, rising to editor-in-chief, managing editor, managing director and then to chairman of the board for the last ten years of his life.
		At the time of his death Keith Murdoch was heavily in debt but possessed within a private family trust considerable number of newspaper shares, some of which may have actually belonged to the Herald and Weekly Times.
		It was also the first time Murdoch risked the whole business he had already created on the outcome of a new venture, for he mortgaged the most valuable of his existing Australian properties to buy the paper with a promise that he would share control with the existing Carr management.
