Taranaki Newspapers is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fairfax Media. The registered office of Taranaki Newspapers is 49-65 Currie Street, New Plymouth. There is also branch offices in Hawera with agents in Stratford, Opunake, Taumarunui and Waitara.

Taranaki Newspapers was formed in 1962 following the amalgamation of The Daily News and the Taranaki Herald. In 1966 joint production of the two newspapers commenced in the present premises, using a common processing and composing room, press department and publishing section. In February 1976 the company moved to cold type production and four years later installed an offset press and a Compugraphic production system. At that time the company was a part of NZ News Limited and the Taranaki Herald (founded 1852) was the oldest newspaper in New Zealand. The Daily News was founded in 1857.

In 1989 Taranaki Newspapers was bought by INL. Regrettably, the Taranaki Herald ceased publication because of falling circulation and advertising volumes.

Taranaki Newspapers is a major employer in Taranaki, employing 130 full-time staff. In addition 20 part-time staff, and a further 350 paper deliverers and contractors are regularly employed. The Taranaki Daily News boasts one of New Zealand's largest market penetration with a massive 73%.

Today Taranaki Newspapers comprises of 3 divisions:

  • Taranaki Daily News (morning daily)
  • The North Taranaki Midweek (weekly)
  • The South Taranaki Star (weekly)
