The Mercury has been chronicling life in Tasmania since it began on July 5, 1854 by George Auber Jones and John Davies.
We’ve been breaking news across the island state for almost 170 years.
The way we share the news has changed dramatically, with our stories consumed on smartphones, tablets and desktop PCs as well as in print, although digital subscribers also get access to a PDF version of our printed products online.
When you subscribe to The Mercury, you’re helping fund the journalism that brings you stories from across the state, the nation, and the world.
In return, we provide unique locally-based coverage of Tasmania from a team of journalists based in both the north and south of the state with incredible expertise.
On Sundays, you’ll get exclusive stories from The Sunday Tasmanian — a newspaper which not only delivers big stories but sets the week’s agenda.
That’s not all. You’ll also enjoy unlimited access to the websites of our sister papers — Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph, Melbourne’s Herald Sun, Adelaide’s The Advertiser and Queensland’s Courier Mail.
THE INSIDE WORD

Need to keep tabs on what’s happening in property development, or business? Our experts will keep you across the news that matters.
Need a thought-provoking opinion piece? A subscription gives you access to all of our popular Talking Point columnists like Greg Barns, Simon Bevilacqua, Charles Wooley, Rebecca White, Eric Abetz and more.

Our people bring power to our journalism — they care about being right, and about being first. The difference between the stories that we bring our subscribers — and those that you’ll find elsewhere on the web — is that ours are exclusive and they’re written with a Tasmanian audience in mind.
