Truth (Perth Newspaper)
''Truth'' was a weekly English language newspaper published in Perth, Western Australia from 25 July 1903 until 29 March 1931. Background Until 1916, the masthead read "conducted by John Norton"; then between 1916 and 1920, it read "conducted by John Norton's Trustees". ''Truth'' was an established newspaper published in Sydney and owned by William Willis, Adolphus Taylor and Patrick Crick. Norton worked for ''Truth'' and became editor and part-owner in 1891, but he was soon dismissed for repeated drunkenness. Through extensive litigation, Norton acquired the newspaper in 1896. The content of ''Truth'' became even more sensational under Norton's ownership. ''Truth'' newspapers were published in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland before the Western Australian edition was established in 1903. For a few months prior to this, a Western Australian edition had been published in Melbourne. Availability Issues (1903 - 1931) of this newspaper have been digitised as par ...

''Truth'' was the name of various weekly newspapers published in Adelaide, South Australia, at times between 1890 and 1964. History The first Adelaide newspaper to be titled ''Truth'' was published by J. C. Wharton in 1890, and modelled after the London '' Truth'', occupying much the same niche as '' Quiz'', that is to say, humorous, literate and morally conservative; and was short-lived. The second Adelaide ''Truth'' was founded in 1903 by Charles Walter Chandler (c. 1860 – 31 July 1936) and may have had some affiliation with the Sydney ''Truth'' of John Norton, and was brash, populist and sensational. E. J. McAlister (who had a printing works in an adjacent building) and Andrew McNamara (nominal publisher) were associates in publishing the paper. :Charles, who founded the Port Pirie ''Standard'' (a predecessor of '' The Recorder''), and the ''East Torrens Eagle'', was no stranger to controversy: in 1900 as owner and editor of the weekly ''Free Lance and Licensed Victuall ...
