The Evening News (Sydney)

The Evening News was the first evening newspaper published in Sydney, Australia. It was published from 29 July 1867 to 21 March 1931. The Sunday edition was published as the Sunday News.

The Evening News was founded in 1867 by Samuel Bennett and was regarded as a "less serious read" than other Sydney newspapers. In 1875 labour difficulties forced Bennett to merge The Evening News with another of his papers, The Empire.The Evening News continued to be published until 1931 at which point it was closed by Associated Newspapers, who had acquired most Sydney newspaper titles by that time. A Sunday morning edition was published as Sunday News from 1919-1930.

The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia.
