Origins
One of the first newspapers in Western Australia was The Inquirer , which was founded by Francis Lochee and William Tanner on August 5, 1840. From 1843 Lochee was the sole owner and editor of the Daily News until May 1847, when he sold it to Edmund Stirling, the paper's former compositor .
In July 1855, The Inquirer acquired the recently founded financial journal The Commercial News and Shipping Gazette from JR Sholl. Both papers were merged and henceforth run as Inquirer and Commercial News as a weekly newspaper until June 28, 1901 with parts of Stirling and Sholl. From April 1873, after the departure of Scholl from Stirling and his sons John, Fred and Horace, known as Stirling & Sons, the newspaper was continued. Five years later, Stirling also resigned and the three sons took control of the newspaper as Stirling Bros.
The Stirling Brothers founded the Daily News in July 1882, and in 1901 the Inquirer and Commercial News was incorporated into the same Daily News .
The Saturday edition was henceforth called Weekend News and the Weekend Magazine of the Daily News was later given to The West Australian .
Later years
After the strong competition from television, numerous Australian evening newspapers lost their importance and customers, so that the Daily News was also taken off the market in 1990.
