From 1917 Manning served as Chairman of Directors, and the Manning family became proprietors of the newspaper in 1924. Registered as a private company in March 1932, the publisher's name changed to The Mackay Printing and Publishing Company on 27 July 1932. On the death of William Manning, his son H. J.

Subsequently his own son, Clarence Manning, took over these roles, as well as serving as editor from 27 August 1949 and as managing editor from April 1968 to 31 December 1980.
