The Wagga Wagga Advertiser

[2] The newspaper was originally owned and run in partnership by two local pastoralists Auber George Jones and Thomas Darlow[2] and the paper's first editor was an Oxford graduate named Frank Hutchison.

[2] As the district of Wagga Wagga grew in prosperity and importance, Jones and Darlow viewed the newspaper as a means to provide the region with greater representation in the press.

[2] The paper aimed to highlight the importance of agriculture and was devoted to people from all socio-economic levels.

[5] Publisher Stephen Sullivan spoke of the positive reception the move to a daily publication had received: "Since the announcement of daily publication of the paper, the proprietor has received manifestations of good will from all parts of the district, general satisfaction being expressed with a move in keeping with the rapid growth of the community".
