Papua New Guinea's News, Reported with Integrity
Sunday Chronicle is a digital-first national newspaper bringing Papua New Guineans clear, accurate and independent reporting on the stories that shape our nation — from Port Moresby to the provinces.
Who We Are
Sunday Chronicle is an independent, digitally published newspaper serving readers across Papua New Guinea. We report on the national issues that matter — politics, business, sports, and community life — with a newsroom built on verification, fairness, and a clear separation between reporting and opinion.
As a digital-native publication, we're able to bring readers developing stories as they happen, while holding every article to the same editorial standard: checked facts, named sources wherever possible, and a named editorial desk accountable for what we publish.
Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To inform Papua New Guineans with accurate, timely and independent journalism that holds power to account, amplifies local voices, and helps readers make sense of the issues shaping their communities and their country.
Our Vision
To be Papua New Guinea's most trusted digital newsroom — a publication readers turn to first, built on credibility earned one accurately reported story at a time.
Our Values
Accuracy
We verify before we publish. Every fact, figure and quote is checked against a reliable source before it reaches a reader.
Integrity
We report what we find, not what's convenient. Corrections are made openly, and our journalists are named and accountable.
Independence
Our newsroom is editorially independent of advertisers, political parties and business interests. Coverage decisions are ours alone.
Accountability
Every published article carries a named byline and passes through editorial review before it reaches readers — and stays correctable after.
Community
We report from and for Papua New Guinean communities — bringing local stories national attention, not just national stories to local readers.
