''The Recorder'' was a newspaper published in Port Pirie, South Australia as ''Port Pirie Recorder and North Western Mail'' between 1898 and 1918, and ''The Recorder'' from 1919. ==History== The town, later city, of Port Pirie had two newspapers, ''The Advocate'' and ''The Standard''. They amalgamated to form ''The Port Pirie Recorder'', first published on 9 July 1898, and appearing on Saturday and Wednesday mornings, printed and published by Charles Meyrick (died 3 January 1937) of the ''Port Pirie Standard'' and Alfred Edward South (1861 – 1 January 1934) of the ''Advocate''. Their office was on Alexander Street, Port Pirie. Meyrick withdrew from the partnership around 1903 and on 6 April 1914 the paper became a daily. In 1919 South sold the paper to James Edward Davidson (died 1 June 1930) and it was renamed ''The Recorder''. A few months later, a fire caused considerable damage to its Ellen Street premises, but with help from a local jobbing printer publication continued, albeit in a more modest form.〔 Davidson went on to found News Limited, with ''The Recorder'' one of its stable, which included the Adelaide ''News'', ''The Barrier Miner'' (Broken Hill) and Perth's ''Daily News''. On 1 December 1931 the paper was sold to Horace Yelland (died 27 August 1948) (previously editor of ''The News'' and ''The Sunday Mail'') and his company Recorder Proprietary Limited. On 14 August 1934 disaster once again struck when much of Port Pirie, ''The Recorders premises included, was inundated by flood. Again, publication was reduced to a single sheet but four days later had returned to full size with graphic photos and descriptions of the episode. For many years the ''Recorders chief competitor was the ''Port Pirie Advertiser'', published by Samuel W. Osborne. After that paper ceased publication in the mid 1920s, Sam Osborne contributed to ''The Recorder'' a weekly column "Personal Reminiscences", which continued until 1950, a few years before his death. The paper's worst disaster struck on 22 January 1941 when Pirie's Central Mission was destroyed by fire, which spread to the ''Recorder's'' offices causing immense damage. The paper went to three issues per week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, which continued to at least 1955. ''The Recorder'' is now published once a week,Thursday, and is part of the Fairfax Rural Press network. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Recorder (Port Pirie)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
