The Honolulu Advertiser was a daily newspaper based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Founded in 1856, it served as a primary source of news for residents and visitors, covering local, national, and international stories. The paper was known for its comprehensive reporting on issues affecting the Hawaiian Islands. In 2010, The Honolulu Advertiser merged with another local publication, The Star-Bulletin, to form Hawaii's Star-Advertiser. This merger aimed to strengthen the newspaper's presence in the digital age while continuing to provide quality journalism to the community.
