The Monitor (Sydney)

Front page of The Sydney Monitor, Saturday 16 August 1828

The Monitor was a biweekly English language newspaper published in Sydney, New South Wales and founded in 1826.[1] It is one of the earlier newspapers in the colony commencing publication twenty three years after the Sydney Gazette, the first paper to appear in 1803, and more than seventy years before the federation of Australia. The Monitor changed name several times, subsequently being known as The Sydney Monitor, and in June 1838 Francis O'Brien and Edwyn Henry Statham introduced themselves as the new editors of the re-branded Sydney Monitor and Commercial Advertiser.[2]
