The 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 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 Socialist. Gazette was also in circulation from 1913 to 1919 while the Clarion was being available in the late 1930s.
