Land Rights News was first printed in 1976 and is Australia's longest-running Aboriginal newspaper, telling stories from remote Aboriginal lands from across the Northern Territory.
The newspaper has long been jointly produced by the Northern Land Council and Central Land Council but with so much happening within the regions of both organisations a decision was made for each Land Council to independently produce its own publications. This ensured that both Land Council media teams had the scope to report on the issues which directly affect the lives of Aboriginal peoples living in their respective regions. So now, the NLC produces Land Rights News-Northern Edition and the CLC produces Land Rights News-Central Australia*.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
