News Magazine is an Australian television program which aired from 1958 to 1960 on Melbourne station HSV-7. Hosted by HSV personality Brenda Marshall, little is known about the show, however it is notable as an early example of an Australian news program. It aired in a daytime time-slot on Tuesdays, and during its run the time-slot running time varied from 10 minutes to 20 minutes (assuming the series had a sponsor, the running time minus commercials is unknown). Archival status of the series is not known, however as few Australian newscasts are known to survive from the 1960s, the program may be lost, though this is not confirmed.
