Pärnu Postimees

First published on 5 June 1857, it is one of the oldest papers in the country, and also a forerunner to the national newspaper Postimees.

The newspaper was first published on 5 June 1857 as Perno Postimees ehk Näddalileht.

[1] It was founded by Johann Voldemar Jannsen,[1] who was an architect by profession and has been described as "the father or Estonian journalism".
