History

The Narrabri Herald and Northern Districts' Advertiser was first published in 1873[1] and The Narrabri Age and Namoi District Newspaper was first published in 1894.[2] Both of these newspapers ceased publication on 23 December 1912 and were incorporated into The North Western Courier which was first published on 7 January 1913.[2] In its first issue The North Western Courier claimed it would support liberal politics.[3]

The North Western Courier shortened its name to The Courier in 1967 but changed the name back to The North Western Courier in 1976.[4] The name was shortened again to The Courier in 1982 and it is still published under that name.[5]

Digitisation

The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program (ANDP) project of the National Library of Australia.[6][7]
