In 1884 the Rhondda Valley was served by local newspaper the Rhondda Chronicle which became the Rhondda Gazette and General Advertiser of the Rhondda Fach and Ogmore Valleys in 1891. In 1899 the news of the valley was being published in then Pontypridd and Rhondda Weekly Post while Rhondda Post was also in circulation in 1898.
The Rhondda Leader which has become one of the most familiar local papers of the region was first published in 1899 and nine years later became the Rhondda Leader, Maesteg, Garw and Ogmore Telegraph. The Porth Gazette was published from 1900 to 1944 and during that period there was a newspaper called the Rhondda Socialist. Rhondda Gazette was also in circulation from 1913 to 1919 while the Rhondda Clarion was being available in the late 1930s.
The Porth Gazette and Rhondda Leader was published from 1944 to 1967 while also published in Pontypridd during those years was the Rhondda Fach Leader and Gazette. In more recent years the Rhondda Leader and Pontypridd & Llantrisant Observer combined before the Rhondda Leader became a separate edition which it is these days.
