Chronicle Considers The H Word
The Wanganui Chronicle has proudly served Wanganui and the wider region for exactly 153 years.
Editor Kim Gillespie says despite the New Zealand Geographic Board’s recommendation today that the name of the city be changed, there are no current plans to change the name of the newspaper.
However, if the Government decides to ratify the board’s recommendation and rename Wanganui, the newspaper would consider incorporating the H into the masthead.
Mr Gillespie says the Chronicle is an integral part of the community, and it always strives to reflect that community.
The Wanganui Chronicle is part of the APN Group. A decision to change the name of any of the newspaper mastheads in the APN Group needs to be approved by the board of APN.
