The Clipper was a weekly labor-orientated newspaper published in Hobart, Tasmania, from 8 April 1893 until 25 December 1909,[1] before its merger with the Daily Post in 1910.[2][3]
History
The newspaper was founded by James Paton, proprietor and editor, and Gerald Tempest Massey, printer and publisher
In 1902 Edward Mulcahy, Minister of Lands in the Tasmanian government, sued Paton and Massey for defamation of character, in respect of an article alleging impropriety in awarding a contract for the Strahan storm water channel.[4] Paton left for Western Australia, and Massey founded The Critic
Walter Alan Woods became editor and part owner in 1903, until the newspaper merged with the Daily Post in 1910.[5]
The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Project by the National Library of Australia.
