DIAMOND JUBILEE
TE AROHA NEWS CELEBRATION FIRST PUBLISHED JUNE 9, 18'83 The Te Aroha News, Te Aroha’s bi-weekly newspaper, on Tuesday celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of its foundation. First published on June 9, 1883, as a weekly, it undertook bi-weekly publication in March, 1888, and before 1900 became a tri-weekly, which it remained until newsprint restrictions imposed by the present war necessitated it dropping an issue as an economy measure. The paper was founded by Mr H. E. Whitaker, but a year later was taken over by Brett and Company, the editor, Mr John Hott, 'becoming managing-partner. The News was run by this combination until July 23, 1890, when Mr Hott resigned to join the New Zealand Times. Welb‘n»ton. The News then changed hands a considerable number of times until, in 1913, it was taken over by the Te Aroha News Printing and Publishing Company, Limited, the present owners.
In celebrating the jubilee, the News is publishing an eight-page illustrated supplement dealing with its Own history and that of the district it has served since the gold rush in the ’eighties.
