Sydney Sportsman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Norton, newspaper owner

The Sydney Sportsman was a horse racing and sporting newspaper published in Sydney, Australia from 1900 to 1960. It continues to be published as The Sportsman.

History

The Sydney Sportsman was first published on 3 October 1900 by John Norton. Norton was a controversial publisher who also published the Truth newspaper.[1] He called on the writers of the Sydney Sportsman to "give it" to whoever deserved it, regardless of libel laws.[2] The Australian poet Banjo Paterson was editor of the paper from 1921 to 1930.[3] The paper was sold to John Fairfax and Sons in 1958.[4]

The paper became The Sportsman in 1960 and is still in publication. It is now devoted to all forms of racing.[5] It is currently published by Nationwide News Pty Ltd.[6]

Access

The Sydney Sportsman can be viewed at the State Library of New South Wales,[7] and the National Library of Australia.[8]

Digitisation

The paper has been digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program project of the National Library of Australia.[9][10]
