The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia's oldest
existing newspaper, occupied two successive buildings on this site
before moving to offices off Broadway. 'The Herald Corner' was an area
where people gathered for news straight off the presses. When foreign news arrived by ship the rival newspapers used to vie with each other to be the first with the news. The Herald had a special boat built for the purpose and kept a crew in readiness day and night. Reporters often boarded vessels outside the Heads in order to secure the papers on board. |
