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.
