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.

Newspaper Name : Victor Harbor Times
About Us: The Victor Harbor Times, serving the Fleurieu Peninsula south of Adelaide, was born two years before the start of World War 1. The first edition hit the streets in August, 1912, for the princely sum of one penny.
After proprietor Cec Elliot was run out of town because of a "disgraceful incident", Peter Milnes and wife Ivy bought the paper, beginning what was to become a proud family newspaper dynasty for Victor Harbor.
In World War II, newsprint was rationed, presenting a problem for publishers. Peter's son, Colin, along with another employee of the paper, Chic Sheehan, enlisted in the war, and both were taken prisoner.
The Milnes family, in their generational service to The Times, were true trailblazers when it came to embracing new printing and publishing technology.
The Times is now owned by Australian Community Media.
It serves a bustling community of 16,000 in a picture-perfect location beside the sea where many tourists gather, particularly in the summer.
Residents of the peninsula include former high-flying Adelaide Crows AFL player Tony Modra who lives at Waitpinga and can be seen catching crayfish.
The traditional custodians of the land and surrounding waters are the Ramindjeri and Ngarrindjeri people - and the City of Victor Harbor pays tribute to them.
Beside the turquoise water is the causeway on which you can ride the horse-drawn tram to Granite Island from the township.
Young people are enthralled by the sun, surf and sand, staging the Schoolies' Festival for school leavers there each year when thousands of revellers pack out Victor Harbor.
There is something for the older generation, too - the town is known as a haven for retirees and senior citizens.
The Times has something for them all.
