Weekly Times Messenger
The Weekly Times' area stretched from Woodville in the north, through to Adelaide Airport in the south, and covered many of Adelaide's coastal suburbs, including Grange and Henley Beach.[1] The newspaper generally reported on events of interest in its distribution area, including the suburbs of Henley Beach, Woodville, Thebarton and West Lakes.[2] On 28 May 2020, as part of an effort to "streamline [its] community titles"[3] and issues relating to the COVID-19 pandemic,[4] News Corp Australia's executive chairman Michael Miller announced to staff that the paper would cease physical publication and instead "publish local stories under their regional or city-based masthead."[3] As of December, 2022, they continue local reporting on The Advertiser website.Two years later, in 1961, Messenger owner Roger Baynes acquired the Westside News Review, which also covered the western suburbs, from John Carroll.
