History

The Young Witness was first published in 1909.[1] It has since undergone several name changes as well as absorbed several other newspapers from the Young region. In 1913 it incorporated the The Burrangong argus and Burrowa, Murrumburrah, and Marengo general advertiser.[2] In 1923 the title changed to Daily Witness[3] but reverted to Young Witness in 1931.[4] In 1947, the newspaper absorbed The Young Chronicle.[5] The title was changed to South West News Pictorial in 1961[6] and this name remained until 1993 when it was merged with The Young Times.[7] At this point the name reverted again to The Young Witness and it is still published under that name.
