EspañolTHE COURIER-MAIL
(Redirected from Courier Mail)
'''The Courier-Mail''' is a daily newspaper published in Brisbane, Australia. Owned by News Corporation, it is published daily from Monday to Saturday in tabloid format. Its editorial offices are located at Bowen Hills, in Brisbane's inner northern suburbs, and it is printed at Murarrie, in Brisbane's eastern suburbs.
The first edition of ''The Courier-Mail'' was published on 28 August 1933 after a merger of ''The Brisbane Courier'' (founded as ''The Moreton Bay Courier'' on 20 June 1846) and ''The Daily Mail'' (first published on 3 October 1903). This merger was necessitated by the Great Depression which had caused both papers to make financial losses.
Like most newspapers owned by News Corporation, ''The Courier-Mail'' generally supports free market economic policies and the process of globalisation. It supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
''The Courier-Mail'' has the fourth-highest circulation of any daily newspaper in Australia with 224,689 sales Monday to Friday, and 326,767 on Saturdays (June 2006 figures). Around three-quarters of the paper's readership is located in the Brisbane metropolitan area.[1]
Prominent journalists and columnists include Nicholas Gruen, Terry Sweetman and Mike O'Connor. Its current Editor is David Fagan, who is married to columnist and 612 ABC Brisbane radio broadcaster Madonna King. Its editorial cartoonist is Sean Leahy.
From its inception until recently ''The Courier-Mail'' was a broadsheet newspaper. On 14 December 2005 it was announced that the paper would change to a tabloid sometime in early 2006. The last broadsheet edition was published on Saturday 11 March 2006, and the first tabloid edition was published on Monday 13 March 2006. On the same day, the paper's website was revamped and expanded.
The change to a "compact" format brought ''The Courier-Mail'' in line with all other News Limited Australian metropolitan daily newspapers. This followed the change to a tabloid format by ''The Advertiser'' of Adelaide - another News Corporation newspaper - some years earlier.
