History

"The South Australian Advertiser" and "The South Australian Weekly Chronicle" were founded in 1858 by the Reverend John Henry Barrow, a former editor of a competing newspaper, the "South Australian Register".

Sinclair, ' [http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/biogs/A030101b.htm Barrow, John Henry (1817 - 1874)] ', "Australian Dictionary of Biography", Volume 3, MUP, 1969, pp 104-105.] [cite web | title = NLA - Australian Newspaper Plan - Australia's most significant 'at risk' newspapers | work = National Library of Australia | url = http://www.nla.gov.au/anplan/extras/newspapers_at_risk.html#_chronicle | accessdate = 2008-08-24 ]

Between 1893 and 1929, Sir John Bonython was the sole proprietor of "The Advertiser". As well as being a talented newspaper editor, he also supported the movement towards the Federation of Australia. The Canberra suburb of Bonython was named in his honour.

"The Advertiser" changed from a broadsheet to a smaller tabloid format in November 1997.
