History

The Northam Courier was the second newspaper published in Northam, the first being The Northam Advertiser . [1] Prior to its launch, the Northam Courier as a concept received a mixed response from other press outlets [2] [3] [4] but was said to have garnered liberal promises of support from the local community. [5]

The inaugural issue was published on 16 November 1909. [6] The Western Mail said of the first issue it "consists of six pages of well-balanced news and advertising matter, and has a distinctly presentable appearance". [7] On introducing the planned ethos of the paper, the Northern Courier said it had the "earnest hope, of winning the reputation of being literal, progressive, and fair". [8]

The paper's final issue was published on 12 May 1922. [6] [9]

Political affiliations

In its later years, multiple outlets described the Northam Courier as an organ of the Country Party, [10] [11] [12] an agrarian party formed in 1913. [13]
