The Watchtower began to be published in Motu in 1958, and Tok Pisin in 1960. Study articles were printed in Sydney, Australia, on loose sheets of paper that were stapled together and then shipped to Port Moresby. In 1970, the magazine was enlarged to 24 pages, and its circulation rose to over 3,500.

At present, the branch prepares a semi-monthly Watchtower and a quarterly Awake! in Tok Pisin as well as a monthly study edition of the Watchtower and a quarterly public edition in Hiri Motu.
