Widely known as a conservative newspaper for most of its history, it adopted a left-leaning approach from 1949. ''The Argus''s main competitor was David Syme's more liberal-minded newspaper, ''The Age''. History The newspaper was originally owned by William Kerr, who was also Melbourne's town clerk from 1851 to 1856 and had been a journalist at the ''Sydney Gazette'' before moving to Melbourne in 1839 to work on John Fawkner's newspaper, the '' Port Phillip Patriot''.

The paper was then published by Edward Wilson. By 1855, it had a daily circulati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
