Ownership

In 1949, the newspaper was purchased by the late Leo Armati and his wife Pat, which meant the beginning of the Macquarie Publications group which grew into the largest independently owned regional publishing group in Australia. Macquarie retained ownership until December 1995 when Rural Press acquired both the Daily Liberal, the Weekend Liberal and the other 55 newspapers and magazines in the Macquarie Publications group ^[1]. Rural Press merged into Fairfax in 2007.
