In the late 1890s up to the suicide O'Connor 1902 Vosper ran a public hate campaign against him. A committee finally decided that this rested solely on conjecture Vospers.

In 1901, James MacCallum Smith and Arthur Reid took over the newspaper of Vosper. From 1912 to 1935, McCallum Smith sole owner and director of the Sunday Times.

In the 1960s and 1970s, when numerous other journals in the area of Perth reported news, the Sunday Times, a tabloid newspaper in the style of comic relief without direct reference to the weekly events.

After more and more other media - TV and Internet - has increased and they gradually disappeared the evening papers from the market, the Sunday Times had to change their style and presentation to keep the readers. More than ever, the blade has a lurid mentality.
