## History

*Hawke's Bay Today* was launched on 3 May 1999, a merger of the dailies the *[Hawke's Bay Herald-Tribune](/source/Hawke's_Bay_Herald-Tribune)* in Hastings and *[Napier's Daily Telegraph](/source/Napier's_Daily_Telegraph)*. Its earliest incarnation was "a Saturday morning weekly named the *Hawke's Bay Herald and Ahuriri Advocate*, which first rolled off the presses in Napier on 24 September 1857," according to the company website.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

The Saturday evening *Hawke's Bay Today* was discontinued in 2002 to make way for the new weekend edition published on Saturday mornings.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

In 2005 the local news content of the *[Dannevirke News](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dannevirke_News&action=edit&redlink=1)* was merged with *Hawke's Bay Today*.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

On 19 March 2012, *Hawke's Bay Today* became a morning newspaper. It was previously released in the afternoon.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

On 25 February 2013, the paper moved from a broadsheet to compact size.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

In 2024, the paper won Newspaper of the Year at the Voyager Media Awards, as well as Best Use of Print at the INMA Global Media Awards for its coverage of Cyclone Gabrielle.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
