History

edit

First published in 1880, The Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser was published until 1953 when it changed its title to the Narrandera Argus, which is still in publication.[1] It was published by James Ashton from 1892 and later by Donald M'Neil Turner.[2] A rival newspaper, the Narrandera Ensign, was established in 1886. This paper promoted protectionism, while the Argus promoted free trade.[3]

The paper currently has a circulation of 2,000 across Narrandera, Leeton, Yanco, Griffith, Coolamon, Ganmain, Matong and Grong Grong.[4]

Digitisation

Editions of the paper published between 1893 and 1953 have been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia.[5][6][7]
