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]
History
The Evening News was founded in 1867 by Samuel Bennett[3] and was regarded as a "less serious read" than other Sydney newspapers.[4] In 1875 labour difficulties forced Bennett to merge The Evening News with another of his papers, the Empire.[5] The Evening News continued to be published until 1931 at which point it was closed by Associated Newspapers, who had acquired most Sydney newspaper titles by that time.[6]
Digitisation
The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program (ANDP) project of the National Library of Australia.[7] [8]
