The Kingston Weekly was first issued on 22 March 1946, with the aim was to "record faithfully the growing needs of the district in business as well as pleasure".
[5] Alongside many other rural publications in Australia, the newspaper was a member of Fairfax Media Limited.
[7] It has a potential readership of 2,700 per week, based on a run of 1,500 copies (20 full-colour pages) printed each Wednesday morning at Murray Bridge.
[1] Of these 1,350 are sold through outlets in Kingston, Robe, Lucindale, Naracoorte, Mount Gambier, and Adelaide with the remainder as subscriptions.
[1] The State Library of South Australia carries microfiche versions of the newspaper.
