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.
[edit] Foundation
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 broadsheet newspapers, The Dominion (morning, commenced Dominion Day, 26 September 1907) and The Evening Post (commenced 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 (for example The Wellingtonian), albeit these may be owned by Dominion Post or affiliated/owning companies.
