History

First published on 14 February 1880 by William Webb, [1] The Campbelltown Herald was published between 1880 and 1919. It was the first paper published in the Campbelltown area. [2] Early editions of the paper bore the banner title The Campbelltown Herald and Camden, Liverpool, Appin, Picton and Menangle Advertiser. [3] On 30 March 1898, the banner title of the paper carried the sub-heading "with which is incorporated The Campbelltown Liberal". [4]

In 1886 the editor, William Webb, was charged by Henry Parkes with criminal libel. Webb was found not guilty by the jury who presided at the trial. [5]

In 1919 the paper changed its name to The Campbelltown News, and in 1953 it became The Campbelltown Ingleburn News. [6]
