The Narrandera Argus, previously published as The Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser, is a weekly English language compact format newspaper published in Narandera, New South Wales (now officially "Narrandera").

History

First published in 1880, The Narrandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser was published until 1953 when it changed its title to Narrandera Argus, which is still in publication.[1] It was published by James Ashton from 1892 and later by Donald M'Neil Turner.[2] A rival newspaper, the Narrandera Ensign, was established in 1886. This paper promoted protectionism while the Argus promoted free trade.[3]

The paper currently has a circulation of 2,000 across Narrandera, Leeton, Yanco, Griffith, Coolamon, Ganmain, Matong and Grong Grong.[4]
