History

The Evening News was founded in 1867 by Samuel Bennett[2] and was regarded as a "less serious read" than other Sydney newspapers.[3] In 1875 labour difficulties forced Bennett to merge The Evening News with another of his papers, The Empire.[4] The Evening News continued to be published until 1931 at which point it was closed by Associated Newspapers, who had acquired most Sydney newspaper titles by that time.[3] A Sunday morning edition was published as Sunday News from 1919-1930.[3]

gollark: No, to predict the consequences of any company action ever.
gollark: You can get an idea of what things are likely or unlikely. The monetary incentive is somewhat important.
