The New Age newspaper was a South African national daily newspaper, owned and operated by TNA Media (Pty) Ltd. It was established in June 2010 with its first publication on 6 December 2010. It was later re-branded as Afro Voice in April 2018. Its last edition was published on 29 June 2018.[1]
When the paper was launched, the owners said that "The New Age would specifically present a positive image of the South African ruling political party, the African National Congress (ANC),[2] and later stated the goal of focussing on the positive side of news, while being critically constructive."[3]
It covered news from South Africa's nine provinces, along with national events, op-ed columns, politics, Africa and international news, sports, business, entertainment, lifestyle, science and technology. It cost R3.50 and produced in 24–32 full-colour pages in broadsheet format. It was printed in three separate locations.
