The Young Witness was first published in 1909.[1] It has since undergone several name changes as well as absorbed several other newspapers from the Young region. It acquired the assets of the defunct Burrangong Argus in 1913.[2] In 1923 the title changed to Daily Witness[3] but reverted to Young Witness in 1931.[4] In 1947, the newspaper absorbed The Young Chronicle.[5] The title was changed to South West News Pictorial in 1961[6] and this name remained until 1993 when it was merged with The Young Times.[7] At this point the name reverted again to The Young Witness and it is still published under that name. The former editor is Craig Thomson. Rebecca Hewson is the Witness journalist.
