The Herald and Weekly Times Limited (HWT) is a newspaper publishing company based in Melbourne, Australia. It is owned and operated by Rupert Murdoch's News Limited, who purchased HWT in 1987.[1]
[edit] Newspapers
The HWT publishes the morning daily tabloid Herald Sun, which was created in 1990 from a merger of the company's morning tabloid paper, The Sun News-Pictorial, with its afternoon broadsheet paper, The Herald. These mastheads had been publishing as separate papers since 1840 (The Herald) and 1922 (The Sun News-Pictorial); HWT had bought The Sun News-Pictorial in 1925.
The HWT also publishes The Weekly Times, aimed at farmers and rural business.
HWT bought a controlling stake in The Advertiser of Adelaide in 1929. The Advertiser took a stake in The News two years later. The News was sold in 1949.
HWT bought The West Australian in 1969, but sold it to Robert Holmes à Court in 1987 as part of the News Limited takeover.[2]
