The newspaper Te Karere o Poneke (the Wellington messenger) was edited by Walter Buller. The masthead featured the royal coat of arms, and though it was initially a private venture, it eventually received official support.

The Victoria Times was published by Thomas Bluett and Jacob Jones. The Victoria Times was only published once but is noteworthy for several reasons; it was Wellington's second earliest paper, it was lithographed rather than letter-pressed and it contains a plan of Wellington on the back page.
