Hastings Standard
The ''Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune'' was a New Zealand newspaper which published from 1937 until 1999. Covering the Hawke's Bay region, it was based in Hastings. History The paper was formed in 1937 from the merger of the Napier-based ''Hawke's Bay Herald and Ahuriri Advocate'', which had been published since 1857, and the Hastings-based ''Hawke's Bay Tribune''. The merger was prompted by difficulties the ''Herald'' faced after the 1931 Napier earthquake in which the company building was destroyed resulting in the paper's printing services being undertaken by its Hastings neighbour during the last six years of its existence. The ''Tribune'' was founded in 1896 as ''The Hastings Standard'', and was renamed as ''The Hastings Tribune'' in 1910. Although their building was severely damaged by the 1931 earthquake, they were in a better position to cope than the Napier paper, and took over its printing.
