The Nelson Examiner and New Zealand Chronicle (also known as The Nelson [Daily] Examiner, was the first newspaper published in New Zealand's South Island. It was launched in 1842 by Charles Elliott (1811–1876), a few weeks after New Zealand Company settlers arrived in Nelson. In its early years the newspaper was criticised for its supposed lack of independence and for being merely a mouthpiece for the New Zealand Company. The paper began as a weekly, was published twice weekly from July 1854, and went daily in July 1873. The newspaper folded in the face of competition in 1874. rdf:langString

They brought a printing press with them and the first edition was published on 12 March 1842. The paper began as a weekly, was published twice weekly from July 1854, and went daily in July 1873. The newspaper folded in the face of competition in 1874. Digital copies of all issues are available online via the National Library of New Zealand.
