Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune
The Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune was a
Hawke's Bay region, it was based in Hastings
.
History
The paper was formed in 1937 from the merger of the
1931 Napier earthquake in which the company building was destroyed resulting in the paper's printing services being undertaken by its Hastings neighbour during the last six years of its existence.[1]
The Tribune was founded in 1896 as The Hastings Standard, and was renamed as The Hastings Tribune in 1910. Although their building was severely damaged by the 1931 earthquake, they were in a better position to cope than the Napier paper, and took over its printing.[2]
In 1999 the HBHT merged with Napier's Daily Telegraph to form a new paper, Hawke's Bay Today.
