"Now the Horowhenua Chronicle is part of NZME, the country's leading media company that is the result of bringing together APN NZ, The Radio Network and Grabone.
"The business is an organisation with a portfolio of radio, digital, e-commerce and print brands producing fantastic content targeted to NZ audiences.
"The network reaches 3.2 million Kiwis, whether reading, listening or watching, who get the content they want when they want across, digital, print, radio and on-demand platforms.
"The Chronicle is proud to be part of this new era of news and content creation, and hosts its own lively social media platforms and website as well as continuing to publish two quality editions a week on Wednesday and Friday from its Bristol St premises, where it has been since 1990.
"The national archives currently has digitised copies of the Chronicle available up until 1949 on Papers Past. The local historic society aim to continue digitising any physical copies we have to preserve our history."
Last Friday's edition of the Horowhenua Chronicle paid homage to those 125 years, adopting the typical 1893 look.
