John Fairfax Holdings Limited is an Australian-based newspaper publisher. It publishes two of Australia's most well-known newspapers, The Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's The Age. It was initiated by the Fairfax family but Fairfax-family control of the newspaper ended on December 11, 1990.
The company also owns The Sun-Herald, a Sunday newspaper, in Sydney, The Age and The Sunday Age in Melbourne, The Illawarra Mercury in Wollongong, The Newcastle Herald in Newcastle and The Dominion Post in Wellington.
The company also owns a stable of business publications, including the daily business newspaper The Australian Financial Review, and the magazines BRW, BOSS, Shares, Personal Investor and Asset.
