The Taranaki Daily News is a daily regional newspaper in New Zealand . Its catchment area is in the western part of the North Island in the Taranaki region . The newspaper is based in New Plymouth .
history
The origin of the Taranaki Daily News lies in the founding of the Taranaki News in 1857. The Taranaki News was founded as a political counterpart to the Taranaki Herald, founded in 1852 when it publicly supported a rival to Charles Brown for the election of the superintendent of Taranaki Province . The competition between the leaves lasted for decades. Nevertheless, the Herald provided technical support for the news when the newspaper's production facility was destroyed due to a fire. Economically speaking, the Taranaki News was worse off than its competitor for many years. The many changes in ownership did not do the newspaper any good either. That didn't change until 1905 when Thomas List , a professional newspaper maker, took over the news . When List died, the Taranaki News had become the fifth largest daily newspaper in the country and had regional importance, whereas the Herald continued to be perceived only locally.
In 1962 both newspapers came under one roof, but for years they were published independently of each other with their own editorial offices, until the Herald was finally discontinued in 1989 for economic reasons. The Taranaki News went to Independent Newspapers Limited (INL) that same year . After many renaming over the years, the newspaper was finally renamed from Daily News to Taranaki Daily News in August 2004 and nine years later, together with numerous other New Zealand daily newspapers, it was sold to the Australian Fairfax Media Limited in 2003 .
