Maitland Mercury mastheadType Daily newspaper Format Tabloid Owner Fairfax Media Founded 7 January 1843 Language English Headquarters Maitland, New South Wales Official website http://www.maitlandmercury.com.au/ The Maitland Mercury is Australia's oldest regional newspaper. It was originally a weekly newspaper, with the first issue published on 7 January 1843. The Mercury is still in circulation serving the city of Maitland and the surrounding Lower Hunter Valley.
Even when it was first published the Mercury was more than just a local newspaper reporting on local issues. It published national and international news, which was critical to the financial survival of the newspaper at the time, and it continues to do so.
