The Dominion (Wellington)

The Dominion (commonly referred to as The Dom) was a broadsheet metropolitan morning daily newspaper published in Wellington, New Zealand, from 1907 to 2002.

The existing Wellington morning newspaper The New Zealand Times had a Liberal Party heritage[1] and the big pastoral landowners lacked a voice in the new dominion's capital and its hinterland provinces.

Rupert Murdoch decided to make a bid, and Wellington Publishing Company became the first international investment by his growing newspaper empire.

The new holding company, initially intended to be Amalgamated Publishers, was named Independent Newspapers Limited (INL).
