ONE of Australia's oldest regional newspapers, the Hawkesbury Gazette, is the latest victim of the ongoing collapse of regional mastheads across the country and has ceased publication after 135 years. It is understood that the decision was made at least a month ago by the publications owner Australian Community Media who bought the publications from Fairfax Media (now Nine Entertainment). The Gazette started publication as the Windsor and Richmond Gazette in 1888 by John Charles Lucas Fitzpatrick and continued until 1982, when the name was changed to the Hawkesbury Gazette.
