The community of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia had an energetic newspaper publishing industry in the late 1890s and early 1900s.

The effect of the newspapers was important in the politics of the state of Western Australia, in particular the lead up to Federation, the rise of labour politics, and the evolution of political parties in the state.^[1][2]

By the end of the initial boom in mining and establishment of more industrial scale mining, a number of smaller publishing ventures had been and gone.
