| Newspaper Name : | The Advertiser Adelaide |
| About Us: | Circulation figures reported in May 2016 by Roy Morgan Research showed a continuing decline in readership, of 324,000 on weekdays, and 371,000 on Saturdays. When the first edition of The Advertiser rolled off the presses on July 12, 1858, the settlement of South Australia was only 22 years old. Back then it was called The South Australian Advertiser and consisted of four pages, each of seven columns, and sold for four pence. It was edited, managed and published by Reverend John Henry Barrow. So much has changed since then, but for more than 160 years The Advertiser has been engrained in the roots of South Australia and its people. We have covered our state’s triumphs and tragedies, heroes and scandals. As the internet and social media transform the way the world connects and shares information, we have expanded from a daily newspaper to a 24/7 news publishing powerhouse with an audience that spans the globe. The way we share our journalism may have changed but one thing never will ??? our commitment to providing South Australia’s best news coverage, and being a crusading voice for the interests of our state and its people. |

The Recorder
| Newspaper Name : | The Recorder |
| About Us: | The Recorder was founded in 1898 and the paper’s motto is “You can’t beat a local”.
The paid paper is published bi-weekly and the main circulation areas are Port Pirie, Crystal Brook, Gladstone, Melrose and Port Broughton. Some 15,000 people live in the region, which is geographically positioned beside Spencer Gulf in the mid north of South Australia. The main tourist attractions are the Flinders Rangers and fishing in the gulf. The world’s biggest smelter is located at Port Pirie and farming is the other major industry. Actor Keith Michell and footballer and former Crows captain, Mark Bickley are the area’s most famous locals. The Smelter’s Picnic, held in Spring, is the most popular community event. The region is known for its farming camaraderie, great involvement in sport and working class traditions. The Recorder has been servicing the community for more than a century and carries local and regional news. It has a loyal readership, created by its consciousness of its role in the community – that of an informer, watchdog and entertainer. |
