Daily News |
The Daily News has been established since 1888 and is an active part of the Tweed Shire community.
The Tweed's only daily newspaper that covers all aspects of news from local, national and international events to a full round up of sporting results and a wide range of reader interests.
The Daily News is part of the Tweed Newspaper Company that also produces two weekly papers, Gold Coast MAIL, Tweed Border Mail.
The Tweed Mail Newspaper Company has a strong focus on providing quality, must-read editorial that reflects the feelings, interests and events of our region.
The style is informative and interesting, while still maintaining a friendly, entertaining and local feel.
Sections of the newspaper include lift outs like 'Property Week', as well as daily sections including Sport' and Entertainment' - catering for the tastes and interests of our entire community.
The Tweed Daily News started life in 1888 as the 'Tweed and Brunswick Advocate' and 'South Queensland Record' made its appearance at the end of October in 1888.
The paper was started by William Robert Baker who had worked on newspapers in the Grafton District.
Mr Baker and his two apprentices Norman MacKinon and James McLeod set about producing the paper that was the forerunner to today's Daily News.
The paper started as a weekly paper, then a bi-weekly, and over the years changed names, owners and formats several times.
However, on the first day of January in 1914, the bi-weekly papers were combined to introduce the districts first daily newspaper- The Tweed Daily.
And that Daily Newspaper has operated ever since.
During more than 115 years of operations, the Daily News has stayed abreast of modern newspaper techniques and after the early days of patiently setting every letter by hand, it took a major step forward in 1970 when it became the second daily newspaper in Australia to install an offset printing press.
Nowadays publishing is done on a computer system and the company's papers are printed at our sister sites in Ipswich and Lismore.
The Daily News now also prints two free weekly community newspapers that are distributed on Thursday/Friday - the Tweed Border MAIL, Gold Coast MAIL.
