Введение
Газета, издаваемая в Дунедине, Новая Зеландия
Otago Daily Times (ODT) – газета, издаваемая компанией Allied Press Ltd в Дунедине, Новая Зеландия. ODT является одной из четырех главных ежедневных газет страны, обслуживающей южный регион Южного острова с тиражом около 26 000 экземпляров и совокупной ежегодной аудиторией в печатной и цифровой версиях – 304 000 человек. Основанная в 1861 году, она является старейшей сохранившейся ежедневной газетой Новой Зеландии – газета The Press в Крайстчерче, старше на шесть месяцев, была еженедельной до марта 1863 года. Ее девиз – "Optima Durant" или "Качество вечно".
Основание
ODT была основана Уильямом Х. Каттеном и Джулиусом (позже сэром Джулиусом) Фогелем во время бума, последовавшего за открытием золота в Туапеке, первой из золотых лихорадок Отаго. Соучредитель Фогель приобрел опыт работы в газетном деле, работая корреспондентом, журналистом и редактором в Виктории до иммиграции в Новую Зеландию. Фогель прибыл в Отаго в начале октября 1861 года в возрасте 26 лет и вскоре устроился на работу в Otago Colonist, принадлежавшую и редактировавшуюся Уильямом Ламбертом. Через несколько недель он ушел и присоединился к ее конкуренту, еженедельной газете Otago Witness, в качестве редактора, а также стал ее совладельцем, купив половину доли в бизнесе у Каттена. Компания стала известна как Cullen and Vogel. Фогель убедил Каттена, что из-за взрывного роста населения, вызванного золотой лихорадкой (с 12 691 в 1860 году до более чем 29 000 к концу 1861 года), настало время издавать ежедневную газету. Первоначально газета называлась The Otago Daily Times, и ее первый выпуск состоялся 15 ноября 1861 года, что делает ее старейшей сохранившейся ежедневной газетой Новой Зеландии. В партнеры к Фогелю присоединился Уильям Харрисон, а позже Фарджеон стал его младшим партнером в компании J. Vogel & Co.
By early 1865 the business was struggling financially. The government took exception to these comments. Vogel was serving in a senior position in the government and there was suspicions that as Vogel's departure from the newspaper had been somewhat acrimonious, he still harboured a significant grudge:

On 5 January 1998 the ODT published for the first time on a new Goss International printing press; on the same day it introduced a new masthead reading simply "Otago Daily Times", marking Otago's 150th anniversary year of Pākehā settlement.
К началу 1865 года бизнес испытывал финансовые трудности. Правительство выразило несогласие с этими комментариями. Фогель занимал высокую должность в правительстве, и существовали подозрения, что, поскольку уход Фогеля из газеты был несколько конфликтным, он все еще хранил значительную обиду:

> Г-н Бартон, как, возможно, помнят наши читатели, является бывшим редактором Otago Daily Times, газеты, поддерживающей политические взгляды, враждебные нынешнему правительству, членом которого, г-ном Фогелем, был его предшественник на редакторском посту. Г-н Фогель, по-видимому, утверждает, что владельцы рассматриваемой газеты плохо с ним обращались, и чтобы отомстить им, он никогда не переставал преследовать своего преемника всеми досадами, которые могли прийти в голову маленькому уму и от природы злобному характеру.

Taking his advice, a new owner was found in April 1876 the form of George McCullagh Reed who had moved to Dunedin earlier in that same year and, possibly with financial assistance from his former partner in the Auckland Star, Henry Brett, established in partnership with George Jones a new paper, a third iteration of the Evening News, for the purpose of supporting the threatened provincial system. When Richard Twopeny resigned from the editorship of the Otago Daily Times in 1890 after a disagreement with the directors, Fenwick also took on the editorship duties,. On 5 January 1998 the ODT published for the first time on a new Goss International printing press; on the same day it introduced a new masthead reading simply "Otago Daily Times", marking Otago's 150th anniversary year of Pākehā settlement.
Вскоре, после нескольких месяцев работы на этой должности, осознав невозможность добиться успеха против ODT и тем самым остановить убытки, которые несла компания, Фенвик рекомендовал директорам компании продать как Otago Guardian, так и Southern Mercury, если это возможно, а если нет – прекратить их публикацию. Приняв его совет, в апреле 1876 года был найден новый владелец – Джордж МакКаллах Рид, переехавший в Данидин ранее в том же году и, возможно, при финансовой поддержке своего бывшего партнера из Auckland Star, Генри Бретта, основавший в партнерстве с Джорджем Джонсом новую газету, третью итерацию Evening News, с целью поддержки находящейся под угрозой провинциальной системы. Когда Ричард Твопени ушел в отставку с поста редактора Otago Daily Times в 1890 году после разногласий с директорами, Фенвик также взял на себя обязанности редактора. 5 января 1998 года ODT впервые была напечатана на новом печатном прессе Goss International; в тот же день был представлен новый логотип, просто "Otago Daily Times", отмечающий 150-летие поселения Отаго европейцами (Pākehā).

В XXI век
16 марта 2016 года газета запустила на своем веб-сайте систему платного доступа, ограничивающую читателей от 15 до 20 бесплатными статьями в месяц, после чего требовалась ежемесячная подписка стоимостью 27 новозеландских долларов. The Spinoff утверждал, что это сделало Otago Daily Times первым крупным новостным издателем в Новой Зеландии, внедрившим систему платного доступа, однако StopPress заявил, что ODT последовал примеру других местных новостных изданий, таких как Ashburton Guardian, Gisborne Herald и National Business Review. ODT фактически запустил систему платного доступа только в сентябре 2022 года: новые подписчики платили 15 новозеландских долларов в месяц, а подписчики печатной версии получали доступ к онлайн-контенту бесплатно.
Важные события
1861 – 15 ноября: первое издание. 1881 – цена снижена до одного пенни. 1898 – установлены первые линотипные машины. Они были поставлены английской компанией Linotype после посещения Фенвиком в 1897 году Соединенных Штатов и Великобритании для изучения подходящего оборудования. В период редакторства Фенвика газета также поддерживала финансирование Университета Отаго, женского больничного отделения, расширение Медицинской школы Университета Отаго и Библиотеки Хокена. 23 декабря Совет по медиа Новой Зеландии постановил, что карикатура Тремейна была "излишне оскорбительной и дискриминационной" в ответ на 130 жалоб. Студентка Университета Отаго Милли Лавлок была студенческим автором колонки "A Situation Report" с конца 2014 года по март 2017 года. Она поднимала вопросы сексизма, сокращения гуманитарных курсов и обеспокоенность по поводу будущего молодых женщин.
