The Western Star and Roma Advertiser, later published as the Western Star, is one of the longest continuously published newspapers^[1] in outback Queensland. It was published in Roma from 27 March 1875 to 1948,^[2] before continuing as the Western Star from 1948 to the present day.

History

The Western Star and Roma Advertiser was published by Francis Kidner^[3] as a weekly newspaper from 1875 to 28 September 1878, a bi-weekly from 1 October 1878 to 1939, and as a weekly from 1940 to 1948. As the Western Star, it was published as a weekly from 1948 to 22 April 1949, before becoming bi-weekly once more.

From 11 January 1952, the Western Star declared itself to be "the largest bi-weekly in Queensland".^[4]^[5]

Along with many other regional Australian newspapers owned by NewsCorp, the newspaper ceased print editions in June 2020 and became an online-only publication from 26 June 2020.^[6]
