The Narrandera Argus, previously published as The Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser, is a weekly English language compact format newspaper published in Narandera, New South Wales (now officially "Narrandera").
History[edit]
First published in 1880, The Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser was published until 1953 when it changed its title to 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[edit]
