The Evening News was the first evening newspaper published in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. [1] It was published from 29 July 1867 to 21 March 1931. [2] The Sunday edition was published as the Sunday News.
The Evening News was founded in 1867 by Samuel Bennett [2] and was regarded as a "less serious read" than other Sydney newspapers. [3] In 1875 labour difficulties forced Bennett to merge another of his papers, The Empire into The Evening News. [1]

In November 1918 the firm of S. Bennett Ltd, capital £200,000, was established to acquire the assets of the late Samuel Bennett, including the Evening News, Town and Country Journal, and Woman's Budget. Directors include K. L.

[3] A Sunday morning edition was published as Sunday News from 1919–1930. [3]
The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia. [6] [7]
