Kimberley Echo

The Kimberley Echo is a Kununurra, Western Australia based community newspaper.

It was founded in 1980 by James O'Kenny (born James Kenny) (died August 15, 2011 in Kununurra)[1][2][3][4][5] and Brian Cole. It was a fortnightly paper from 1980 to 1993, and then became weekly in 1993.[6][7] National Library and Battye Library holdings details show changes in publication.[8][9]

The acquisition of the newspaper by West Australian Newspapers in 2007 attracted Australian Competition and Consumer Commission interest[10] but no subsequent actions were followed.
