history
Six years after buying the Ahuriri block on the east coast of what was then the province of Wellington and four years after founding the city of Napier in the land bought by the Māori , the settler James Wood founded Hawke's Bay's first daily newspaper on September 24, 1857 . The paper, initially called Hawke's Bay Herald and Ahuriri Advocate , was published weekly and campaigned for the Hawke's Bay region to become an independent province. After that happened in 1858, Wood changed the name of the paper to Hawke's Bay Herald and became an authorized newspaper for government notices.
From 1861 the newspaper appeared twice a week and 10 years later, when Wood sold the newspaper to four employees, with William Carlile becoming editor in 1870, the paper was changed to a daily publication frequency. From 1879 on, the weekly Hawke's Bay Weekly Courier was also published, but it was discontinued in 1897.
In 1886 the newspaper house was destroyed by a fire but was able to overcome the difficulties. However, the Hawke's Bay earthquake of February 3, 1931, with the subsequent outbreak of a great fire in the city of Napier, destroyed the Hawke's Bay Herald printing plant and hit it hard economically. The editor of the Hawke's Bay Tribune initially took over the printing of the paper, so that the Hawke's Bay Herald could continue to appear independently for the time being. But the takeover of the paper was only a matter of time. The Hawke's Bay Herald appeared for the last time on January 16, 1937 . Both sheets, the Hawke's Bay Tribune and the Hawke's Bay Herald had previously merged and will appear as the Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune in the future from Hastings . The motor of the merger was William Arthur Whitlock , who came back to Hastings in 1933, took over the business of the Hawke's Bay Tribune from his father and after the merger of the two newspapers under Hawke's Bay Newspapers Limited the Herald-Tribune in Hastings in competition with the Daily Telegraph in Napier initially continued as an evening edition.
In 1999 the Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune was in turn merged with the Daily Telegraph to form Hawke's Bay Today .
