Kimberley newspapers explained

A modest number of newspapers have been produced in, or for, the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Few are still being published today. Some of the newspapers reflect the economic interests of the region, but not to the same extent that is seen in Pilbara newspapers. There is some cross-over between newspapers distributed in both the Kimberley and the Pilbara.

The Kimberley region has the second lowest population in Western Australia, accounting for approximately 6% of the state's population.^[1] However, from 2009 to 2013 the Kimberley experienced above average population growth at 2.7%. The low population numbers are reflected in the small number of Kimberley newspapers.
