History
The Whangarei Comet and Northern Advertiser was founded in 1875 as a weekly paper by George Edwin Alderton and, despite a small population which lead to predictions the paper would "would go up like a comet, and come down like a stick",[3] the paper flourished and within two years had expanded to 12 pages and become the Northern Advocate and General Advertiser, with a small section printed in Maori.[4] The paper began daily publication in 1902.
