1 y separately published work icon The Wairarapa Daily Times (International) assertion Masterton : Joseph Payton , 1878-1938 Z1865243 1878-1938 periodical (3 issues) The first Wairarapa newspapers were published in Greytown. Joseph Payton, a school teacher, was a partner with his father-in-law Richard Wakelin in one of them, the bi-weekly Wairarapa Standard which began publication in 1872. However, when Payton decided Masterton was destined to be the largest town in the valley, he went into partnership with W F Roydhouse and Edward Samuel in 1878 publish the Wairarapa Daily.

In 1892, the paper, now well-established, changed its name to the Wairarapa Daily Times. Following Payton's death in 1910 his family ran the paper until it merged with the Wairarapa Times-Age in 1938. In 2002 the newspaper was bought by Wilson & Horton which was subsequently acquired by APN News & Media.
