The Manawatu Standard is a regional daily newspaper in New Zealand . Its catchment area is in the southern part of the North Island in the Manawatu-Wanganui region . The newspaper is based in Palmerston North .
history
In 1880, the Irish teacher and journalist Alexander McMinn founded the Manawatu Standard in Palmerston North . The first four-page issue of the newspaper featured an editorial by John Ballance , himself a newspaper founder and at the time a member of the House of Representatives for Wanganui . The morning edition of the paper was Palmerston North's first daily daily paper . The relationship with the competing Manawatu Times is described as arguable.
In 1891 the brothers Frederick and David Pirani took over the Manawatu Standard and published it as an evening newspaper. In 1903 the sheet was sold to John Coombe and Norman Henry Nash . After further changes in ownership, the Independent Newspapers Limited took over the newspaper in 1980 and sold it with many other New Zealand daily newspapers in 2003 to the Australian Fairfax Media Group.
The newspaper today
The Manawatu Standard had an average daily circulation of 12,357 copies in 2014 and appears in the afternoons, daily Mondays to Saturdays, with the newspaper's editorial staff only covering the local section. The national part is created centrally for all newspapers of the Fairfax Media Group in Wellington .
