This week TIME embarks on an unprecedented joint publishing venture called TIME AUSTRALIA. The new magazine will replace the international edition of TIME that has been edited in New York City and printed in Melbourne. Our partner is John Fairfax & Sons, which publishes the Sydney Morning Herald and is the largest newspaper and magazine company in the country. TIME AUSTRALIA will be owned equally by the two companies and will use TIME's worldwide newsgathering resources and Fairfax's 145 years of Australian publishing experience...

It dipped into the red during the first quarter of this year, while the tightly run News jumped to a formidable circulation lead (390,275 vs. 244,629). The News's owner, A.H. Belo Corp., could rightly claim victory, but perhaps the biggest winner was MediaNews President and CEO William Dean Singleton, 34.
