The Manawatū Standard (formerly the Evening Standard)[1] is the daily paper for the Manawatū region based in Palmerston North. The Manawatū Standard has been recognised as one of the best in New Zealand being a finalist in the 2008 Qantas Media Award (renamed to Voyager Media Awards after Voyager Internet Ltd stepped in as naming sponsor for the 2018 awards) for best regional daily newspaper;[2] it won the same category in 2007.[3] It also won Best Headline and Student Journalist of the Year at the Qantas Media Awards 2017.[4]
The office of the Manawatū Standard in Palmerston North
The company was first established on 29 November 1880.[5] Since then, the paper has been operated by two other companies: it was purchased by Independent Newspapers Limited (INL) in the 1970s, and acquired by Fairfax Media (then John Fairfax Holdings) on 1 July 2003, when that company purchased INL. As of 1 February 2018, Fairfax Media was rebranded to Stuff Limited.[6]
