History[edit]
The Woodville Times was established by Messenger in 1954. In 1959 it was renamed the Weekly Times. Two years later, in 1961, Messenger owner Roger Baynes acquired the Westside News Review, which also covered the western suburbs, from John Carroll. The paper was renamed the Westside.
In 1984, the Westside was renamed Westside Messenger and the Weekly Times was renamed Weekly Times Messenger. In 1992, the Westside Messenger was merged into the Weekly Times Messenger to form one paper covering the entire western suburbs.[3]
