Sunraysia Daily
The Sunraysia Daily is a local newspaper in the north-western Sunraysia region of Victoria, Australia, it is published on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. From its first publication in 1920 until 14 September 2007, it was published in broadsheet format, changing to tabloid-size the following day.
The newspaper was formed by the amalgamation of three newspapers, the Mildura Cultivator, the Mildura Telegraph and Darling and Lower Murray Advocate (established 9 May 1913) and the Merbein Irrigationist, (established 5 November 1919). Its first editor was Harry J. Stephens, and the first edition was produced on 2 October 1920.
According to the Australian Newspaper History Group, it was one of Australia's last remaining regional broadsheets.
Australian entertainer John-Michael Howson was employed at the Sunraysia Daily as a cadet reporter early in his career.
Editor Lyall Corless led the format change from broadsheet to tabloid. Lyall is a former cadet at the Sunraysia Daily and returned to his Mildura roots in 2007 with extensive experience overseas and in leadership roles on some of Australia's biggest metropolitan mastheads.[citation needed]
Kieran Iles, formerly of the Mount Gambier Border Watch, became editor in January 2009. The newspaper operates out of premises in Deakin Avenue in Mildura where there are more than 60 staff working to put the newspaper together.
On 24 March 2020, Elliot Newspaper Group managing director Ross Lanyon announced the paper would close and staff would be stood down from the following weekend, 28 March.
Staff would also be stood down at other Elliot Newspaper Group mastheads: Sunraysia Life (which published weekly), the tri-weekly Swan Hill Guardian, the bi-weekly Gannawarra Times at Kerang and the Loddon Times in the Loddon Mallee.
