The magazine was first published in 1902[2] by Fitchett Bros. The founder was Thomas Shaw Fitchett.[2] It was subtitled A Women's Home Journal for Australia.[2] In 1911 the magazine was renamed as Everylady’s journal, but in 1928 the title was changed to New Idea.[2] Fitchett Brothers changed the name of their company to Southdown Press (later renamed Pacific Magazines).[2] Following World War II the company was acquired by Keith Murdoch and then became part of the Rupert Murdoch media.[2]
In June 2006, the magazine was ranked 3rd in Australia in circulation, with an audited circulation of 433,176; it ranked ahead of Reader's Digest.[3] The magazine's readership in 2004 was in excess of 2 million[4] and had increased to 2.364 million in 2005/6;[5] that is the magazine is read by more than 10% of Australia's population. However, in recent years weekly sales figures have dropped to a March 2014 audit of 280,206.[6] In December 2014 readership had halved to 1.265 million,[7]
In January 2008, it revealed details that Prince Harry was with the British army serving in Afghanistan, in breach of an agreement with the major news organisations.[8] It ran updates on the story on two further occasions. When the United StatesDrudge Report ran the story on 28 February 2008, the prince was forced to abandon his posting and return to the UK. After the story broke much more widely, New Idea pulled the story from its web site and made itself unavailable for comment to other members of the press.[9][10] Two months later, the magazine issued an apology for publishing the story. "We regret this serious lapse of judgment. We sincerely apologise to all our readers, to the servicemen whose lives are at constant risk while serving at home and abroad and to their families and loved ones."
In 2016, actress Eliza Szonert threatened to sue New Idea because the magazine refused to pay her an agreed sum of A$7000 for a tell-all interview about claiming back her child from an ex-partner living overseas, with the magazine claiming she had lied about entering drug rehabilitation.[12]
