The "Wairarapa Times-Age" is the regional daily paper for the Wairarapa, including Masterton.

History

Of the first newspapers published in the region, the "Wairarapa Mercury" (later "Standard"), the "Wairarapa News", the "Wairarapa Register" and the "Newsletter", all, except the "Newsletter" were forced to close down by fires in 1937, 1872 and 1878 respectively.

However the "Wairarapa News" began again six years after the fire on 30 October 1878. This paper merged with the "Wairarapa Free Press" on 11 September 1878 to form the "Wairarapa Daily" which became the Wairarapa Daily Times in 1892.

The "Wairarapa Star" was formed in 1881 and changed to the "Wairarapa Age" in 1902. These two papers, the "Daily Times" and the "Age" joined to form the "Wairarapa Times-Age" in 1938.

The paper was acquired by Wilson & Horton Newspaper group in July 2002. [http://www.times-age.co.nz/info/aboutthepaper/ Wairarapa Times-Age ] ] . This group was in turn bought up by APN News & Media.
