Bulletin

Weekly Sydney magazine. Established in 1880 by Australian journalists J F Archibald (1856–1919) and John Haynes (1850–1917), it was the chief Australian periodical until the 1920s and has done much to foster Australian literature and cinema. It declined steadily after World War I, but regained popularity after 1961, when it was sold to media magnate Frank Packer (1906–1974), who converted it into a news weekly.
