History

''Meekatharra Miner'' was published from 7 August 1909 to 6 July 1918, by Daniel James Colgan. It was continued by the ''Daily Telegraph and North Murchison Gazette'', which ran from 8 July 1918 to 18 March 1920. It was printed and published for the Telegraph Printing and Publishing Co. Ltd, by Stephen Thorne Upham. A daily one page supplement was published between 2 January 1920 and 24 September 1921. In the last issue of the ''Daily Telegraph and North Murchison and Pilbarra Gazette'' there was a small public notice advising readers that the newspaper would be discontinued from that date, citing the reason for the closure as a shortage of staff and the inability to purchase spare parts.
