History
editThe Wellington Times and Australian Industrial Liberator was first published on 23 May 1889 by Michael Conlan O'Halloran to support the labour movement.[1] In 1899 the name was shortened to the Wellington Times.[2] In 1927 the Wellington Times absorbed The Wellington Gazette.[3]
In 1972 the Wellington Star was established as a competitor to the Times by Colin Lord. However the Star was incorporated into the Times in 1973 when the latter was purchased by Lord.[4] The Times was purchased by Macquarie Publications in 1984 from Lord and is today published by Fairfax Regional Media.[5][6]
