The ***Narrandera Argus***, previously published as *The Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser,* is a weekly, English language, compact format newspaper published in [Narrandera, New South Wales](/source/Narrandera,_New_South_Wales).

## History

First published in 1880, *The Narandera Argus and Riverina Advertiser* was published until 1953 when it changed its title to the *Narrandera Argus*, which is still in publication.[1] It was published by [James Ashton](/source/James_Ashton_(politician)) from 1892 and later by Donald M'Neil Turner.[2] A rival newspaper, the *[Narrandera Ensign](/source/Narrandera_Ensign)*, was established in 1886. This paper promoted protectionism, while the *Argus* promoted free trade.[3]

The paper currently has a circulation of 2,000 across Narrandera, [Leeton](/source/Leeton,_New_South_Wales), [Yanco](/source/Yanco), [Griffith](/source/Griffith,_New_South_Wales), [Coolamon](/source/Coolamon,_New_South_Wales), [Ganmain](/source/Ganmain), [Matong](/source/Matong) and [Grong Grong](/source/Grong_Grong).[4]
