Clarence & Richmond Examiner title page, 26 July 1859
The Clarence and Richmond Examiner was ostensibly launched in 1859 by William Edward Vincent.[4][5] However, the power behind the throne was wealthy politician Clark Irving, an opponent of the separation of the Northern Rivers from the colony of New South Wales.[6] In 1861 it was purchased by Richard Stevenson for £600.[7] In 1875 it was purchased by James Gray and James McNaughton.[8]
Grafton generally had three or more newspapers from 1874 into the new century when the tri-weekly Clarence and Richmond Examiner was converted into a daily on 1 July 1915, "to keep public issues constantly before the minds of the people".
Grafton has had a succession of long-serving editors who won renown for their editorial leadership in community affairs, most notably Cecil Bush Bailey (1886–1944), William Bailey-Tart (1944–1960) and John Irvine Moorhead (1960–1977).
Grafton surgeon Earle Page, later a caretaker Prime Minister, was a major boardroom influence on The Examiner as it continued to champion the New England New State proposal, a hydro-electric scheme on the Nymboida River, and a deep-sea port plan for Iluka.
Editors who have had the stewardship of the paper in the era of modern technological advancement include Geoff Orchison, Robert Milne and Peter Ellem, who has campaigned for a second Grafton bridge crossing, an ambulance station/health clinic in Yamba, and improvements to the Pacific Highway.[2]
The Examiner continued its groundbreaking role in 1981, by appointing Laureta Godbee as the first female editor of an Australian daily newspaper.[citation needed] The current editor is Bill North.[3]
Along with many other regional Australian newspapers owned by NewsCorp, the newspaper ceased print editions in June 2020 and became online-only publication.[9]
