History

The town of Parkes had been served with many newspapers. The Western Champion began in 1893 and was published by M. J. Little. [1] The editor in the late 1890s was Gordon Tidy.

After 33 years as the proprietor, William Giles also acquired the Parkes Post by September 1932. [2] Working from their separate offices, the Champion would publish on a Friday, and the Post on the Tuesday. It ceased in 1934 and merged with the Champion Post to form the Parkes Post. [3] The paper consisted mainly of advertising and news columns once a month.

Today the newspaper operates as the Parkes Champion-Post.

Digitisation

The various versions of the paper have been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program [4] project hosted by the National Library of Australia. [5]
