History

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.
