Herald Sun

The Herald-Sun is a newspaper in Melbourne, Australia that is published by the Herald and Weekly Times Ltd, a subsidary of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

The Herald-Sun was formed in 1990 from a merger of the morning tabloid paper The Sun News Pictorial with its afternoon broadsheet sister paper The Herald.

The Herald was founded on January 3, 1840 by George Cavanaugh as The Port Phillip Herald and became The Herald in 1869.

The Sun News Pictorial was founded in 1922 and bought by the HWT in 1924.

The Herald and Weekly Times building located in Flinders Street, Melbourne is heritage listed which means the historic exterior facade - the neon HERALD SUN sign and the radio tranmission towers on the roof cannot be removed although the interior of the building was gutted after the HWT moved out in 1995 after seventy-two years in the building.
