Areas served

At the time of its first publication, the South Western Advertiser was circulated in the south-western area between Armadale and Brunswick, and was the only newspaper published between Perth and Bunbury. [2] [3]

Ownership

Richard Sampson launched the South Western Advertiser, [3] and many other local publications in the early 20th century. There was some concern about one individual owning a significant portion of the country's rural media, but The Swan Express remarked "Mr Sampson is at least entitled to the credit that he has given to several neglected districts a channel for the expression of their grievances."
