The earliest newspaper published in Guelph was the ''Guelph Herald'', which lasted for nine months after it was started in 1842 by Charles McDonnell. The ''Wellingtonian'' also lasted for only a short time in 1843. The next one to be published was ''The Advertiser'' in 1845. In 1847, the new ''Guelph Herald'' was established as a weekly.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.electricscotland.com/canada/guelph/guelphbook.pdf|title=Guelph: A People's Heritage 1827-2002|first=Hilary|last=Stead|page=13|access-date=July 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200302021902/https://www.electricscotland.com/Canada/guelph/guelphbook.pdf|archive-date=March 2, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref>

Both of those publications disappeared but the city was served by a daily newspaper for 149 years until the [[Guelph Mercury]] ceased operations in January 2016 due to declining subscriptions and revenues.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/guelph-mercury-to-close-amid-financial-pressures/article28370737/ |title=Guelph Mercury newspaper to close amid financial pressures |date=January 25, 2016 |first1=Tim |last1=Shufelt |first2=Christine |last2=Dobby |publisher=[[The Globe and Mail]] |access-date=July 23, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170316053324/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/guelph-mercury-to-close-amid-financial-pressures/article28370737// |archive-date=March 16, 2017 |url-status=live }}</ref> At the time, it was owned by [[Metroland Media Group]] which also owned the Guelph Tribune, a twice weekly publication with limited news coverage. The latter increased its reporting of local news, assumed publication of the Guelph and District Homes section and, in April 2016, took over operation of the Mercury website.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.guelphmercury.com/news-story/6247549-guelph-mercury-quits-print-editions/|title=Guelph Mercury quits print editions|date=January 25, 2016|publisher=Metroland Media Group Ltd|work=Guelph Mercury Tribune|access-date=July 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190316205508/https://www.guelphmercury.com/news-story/6247549-guelph-mercury-quits-print-editions/|archive-date=March 16, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> At the same time, the newspaper re-branded with a new title, [[Guelph Mercury Tribune]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.guelphmercury.com/news-story/6517328-welcome-to-the-new-guelph-mercury-tribune-/|title=Welcome to the new Guelph Mercury Tribune!|date=April 28, 2016|publisher=Metroland Media Group Ltd|work=Guelph Mercury Tribune|access-date=July 24, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190316205511/https://www.guelphmercury.com/news-story/6517328-welcome-to-the-new-guelph-mercury-tribune-/|archive-date=March 16, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
