First published as a broadsheet named ''The South Australian Advertiser'' on 12 July 1858,〔(''The South Australian Advertiser'', published 1858-1889 ), National Library of Australia, digital newspaper library.〕 it is currently printed daily from Monday to Saturday. A Sunday edition exists under the name of the ''Sunday Mail''. ''The Advertiser'' is a publication of News Corp Australia. The head office of ''The Advertiser'' has relocated from a former premises in King William Street, to a new office complex, known as Keith Murdoch House at 31 Waymouth Street. ==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''.〔C. M. Sinclair, '(Barrow, John Henry (1817–1874) )', ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 3, Melbourne University Press, 1969, pp 104-105.〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work = National Library of Australia )〕 The South Australian Advertiser was published from 12 July 1858 (Vol 1, no 1) to 22 March 1889 (Vol 31, no 9493). The original owners were Barrow and Charles Henry Goode. The company was re-formed in 1864, with additional shareholders Fred Burden, John Baker, Captain Scott, James Counsell, Thomas Graves and some others. In 1871, when the shareholders were Barrow, Goode, Robert Stuckey, Thomas Graves, William Parkin, Thomas King, James Counsell, and George Williams Chinner, the partnership was dissolved and the business was carried on by Barrow and King. It continued from 1889 as ''The Advertiser''〔 Between 1893 and 1929, Sir John Langdon Bonython〔W. B. Pitcher, (Bonython, Sir John Langdon (1848–1939) ), ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 7, Melbourne University Press, 1979, pp 339-341〕 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, and the now abolished South Australian electoral division of Bonython, were named in his honour. On Langdon Bonython's retirement, his son Sir John Lavington Bonython,〔W. B. Pitcher, (Bonython, Sir John Lavington (1875–1960) ), ''Australian Dictionary of Biography'', Volume 7, Melbourne University Press, 1979, pp 341-342.〕 also Mayor and later Lord Mayor of Adelaide, became editor. The Herald and Weekly Times took a controlling stake in ''The Advertiser'' in 1929. Through the 20th century, ''The Advertiser'' was the morning broadsheet, and ''The News'' the afternoon tabloid. On the death of Sir Keith Murdoch in 1952, ownership of ''The News'' passed to his son Rupert, who subsequently established News Limited and News Corporation. In 1931 ''The Advertiser'' took over its ailing competitor, the ''South Australian Register'' and ''The Chronicle'', its Saturday sister publication. Following Sir Keith's death, and in response to suggestions of external influences from Victoria made by competing newspaper ''The Mail'', the Chairman of ''The Advertiser's'' board published its policy in ''The Advertiser'' as follows:
When Murdoch acquired The Herald and Weekly Times in 1987, he also acquired the remaining 48.7% share of ''The Advertiser''.〔("News Corp moves to 'tie up a few loose ends'" ) ''The Canberra Times ''(1987-09-02)''. ''Retrieved 2014-01-02.〕 He sold ''The News'' in 1987. ''The News'' closed in 1992. He changed the format of ''The Advertiser'' from a broadsheet to a smaller tabloid format in November 1997. 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 Advertiser (Adelaide)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
