17 NT News Front Covers That Tell The Story Of 2014

The award-winning newspaper consistently delivers punbelievable covers.

1. In an era of falling newspaper circulation the NT News remains a must-read. Like when they nailed this important public transport story.

2. They'll cover transport off and on the water. Especially when there is a classic Aussie idiot involved.

3. It's simply the best tabloid journalism the world has seen. Like when this dog was desexed and it became front page news.

4. And this other little dog who got fined for not wearing a seatbelt.

5. The newspaper covers the north of Australia and it really nails the Top End lifestyle.

6. Like when the Darwin Casino banned thongs and it was completely UN-AUSTRALIAN!!!!

7. Rugby league player Todd Carney was caught urinating in his own mouth. He was told where to go...

8. But the best covers always involve the Northern Territory's awesome animals, like when this buffalo walked onto the road.

9. Or when another went horn-to-tooth with this crocodile.

10. Then there was the epic duel dubbed "Jaws vs Claws" which basically summed up all of Australia.

11. The newspaper was all over the scandal surrounding the under-payment in massage parlours.

12. And came up with this cracker when dugong meat was served at an official function in July.

13. There was that time a killer snake was captured strangling cane toads... and heck yes it made the front page.

14. And a man actually was seen drop-kicking a puffer fish back into the ocean. Yes, you heard right: Drop-kicking. A. Puffer. Fish.

15. To mark the 10th anniversary of The Ghan train, these locals gave it a "21 BUM SALUTE".

16. And when businessman James Packer got in a punch-up with his best mate, you couldn't help clap this headline.

17. Thank you NT News. Thank you for bringing the world, all the news that's worthy of print.
