Brisbane Times is an Internet-based news site for Brisbane and Queensland, Australia. It was launched on 7 March 2007[1] by then-Queensland Premier Peter Beattie.[2]
It is owned and run by Fairfax Digital, the online subsidiary of Fairfax Media, publishers of Melbourne's The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and other mastheads, plus subject-focused websites and business-centered magazine titles. The founding managing editor was Mitchell Murphy[3]; the current managing editor is Conal Hanna.
The publication started with 14 journalists in an attempt by Fairfax to break into the South East Queensland market, competing against the website of News Corporation's incumbent The Courier-Mail.
