Daily Telegraph and North Murchison and Pilbarra Gazette, also published as Meekatharra Miner and Daily Telegraph and North Murchison Gazette, was a weekly English language newspaper published in Meekatharra, Western Australia. It was distributed to Meekathara, Nannine, Cue, Geraldton, and the Murchison and Pilbara regions.
History
[edit]Meekatharra Miner was published from 7 August 1909 to 6 July 1918, by Daniel James Colgan. It was continued by the Daily Telegraph and North Murchison Gazette, which ran from 8 July 1918 to 18 March 1920. It was printed and published for the Telegraph Printing and Publishing Co. Ltd, by Stephen Thorne Upham.[1]
A daily one page supplement was published between 2 January 1920 and 24 September 1921.
In the last issue of the Daily Telegraph and North Murchison and Pilbarra Gazette there was a small public notice advising readers that the newspaper would be discontinued from that date, citing the reason for the closure as a shortage of staff and the inability to purchase spare parts.[2]
