From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dominion Post is a metropolitan broadsheet newspaper published in Wellington, New Zealand, owned by the Australian Fairfax group, owners of The Age, Melbourne, and The Sydney Morning Herald. The paper was created by the previous owners, Independent Newspapers Limited (INL, 49% owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Limited), from an amalgamation of two Wellington broadsheets, The Dominion (commenced Dominion Day, 1907) and The Evening Post (1865), in July 2002. INL sold the paper and all other New Zealand newspapers and most magazines in its stable to Fairfax in 2003.
With the amalgamation, The Dominion Post became the only pay-and-read newspaper in Wellington. Wellington has many free community newspapers (e.g. The Hutt News), albeit these may be owned by Dominion Post or affiliated/owning companies (e.g. The Hutt News).
