History

The Northern Courier and County of Raleigh Advocate was first published in Fernmount on 1 September 1889 by Henry Boultwood.[1] In March 1894 The Raleigh Sun was launched in competition to The Northern Courier by William Thomas Campbell and Thomas Giddons.[2] Elizabeth May Campbell was proprietor for nineteen years after the death of her husband, William Thomas Campbell, in 1899.[3] The Raleigh Sun was published in Bellingen. The Northern Courier and The Raleigh Sun merged on 12 February 1946 to become The Bellinger Courier-Sun.[4]

In December 2000, the Courier-Sun merged with the Seaboard Valley Star and is now published as The Bellingen Shire Courier-Sun.[5]
