History edit

The newspaper was first published 1 July 1932. It continued until 29 June 1955.[1]

Frederick William Osborne (Ossie) Rahmann was proprietor and editor from 1932 until his death aged 41 in 1947.[2][3][4]

In 1950, it became part of the new Beacon Company, owners of the Balonne Beacon.[5]

The Balonne Beacon reported on 30 June 1955 that the Maranoa News had "temporarily been forced to cease production" due to the "drastic staff position existing at the present time.[6] The headline of the Beacon's next edition added the words "incorporating the 'Maranoa News' of Mitchell".[7]
