The site, in 1990

A Melbourne daily tabloid, formed from the merger of two older papers, The Herald and The Sun News-Pictorial.

In 2017 it was the highest-circulating daily newspaper in Australia, with weekday sales of 350,000. The Herald it absorbed had been founded in 1840.

In 1990: First published on 8 October as the Herald-Sun. Its first editor, Bruce Baskett, had been the last editor of The Herald.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
