The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Nelson, Marlborough & Westland Provincial Districts]

[introduction]

Each of the four chief towns on the West Coast—namely, Grey-mouth, Hokitika, Westport, and Reefton has two daily papers. The “West Coast Times” and “Hokitika Guardian,” respectively morning and evening papers, were founded in the year 1865, at Greymouth. In the same year, the “Grey River Argus” appeared as a morning journal, and the “Greymouth Evening Star” came out in the following year. The “Westport News” was founded in 1866, and in 1873 the evening paper of Westport, the “Westport Times” and “Evening Star” made its appearance. At Reefton, the “Inangahua Herald” is the morning paper, and the “Inangahua Times” the evening paper. The “Kumara Times” is a daily evening paper; the “Ross and Okarito Advocate” and the “Charleston Herald” are both bi-weekly; while the “Buller Post” at Murchison, the “Buller Miner” at Westport, the “Weekly Argus” at Greymouth, and the “Leader,” at Hokitika, are weekly journals.
