History

First published on 14 February 1880 by William Webb,[1] The Campbelltown Herald was published between 1880 and 1919. It was the first paper published in the Campbelltown area.[2] Early editions of the paper bore the banner title The Campbelltown Herald and Camden, Liverpool, Appin, Picton and Menangle Advertiser.[3] On 30 March 1898, the banner title of the paper carried the sub-heading "with which is incorporated The Campbelltown Liberal".[4]

In 1886 the editor, William Webb, was charged by Henry Parkes with criminal libel. Webb was found not guilty by the jury who presided at the trial.[5]

In 1919 the paper changed its name to The Campbelltown News, and in 1953 it became The Campbelltown Ingleburn News.[6]

Digitisation

Many issues of the paper have been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program,[7] a project of the National Library of Australia in cooperation with the State Library of New South Wales.[8]
