| Newspaper Name : | The Courier-Mail |
| About Us: | Welcome to Brisbane and Queensland’s No.1 source of news, sport and analysis of the big issues affecting our state. An influential voice in Queensland politics and the state’s first newspaper, The Courier-Mail was founded in 1846 as the Moreton Bay Courier, as it was known then. In 1861 it became a daily newspaper and in 1864 was renamed the Brisbane Courier. One of the paper’s many competitors over the years, The Daily Mail was launched in Brisbane in 1903. It did not remain a competitor for long; in 1933 The Courier-Mail was formed through the merger of The Courier and The Daily Mail, and Queensland Newspapers Pty Ltd was born. In 1987, News Corp acquired Queensland Newspapers. The Courier-Mail website was launched in 1998 and in 2006 the paper moved from a broadsheet to compact format. The paper’s online and print operations merged in 2008. |
