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.^[1]^[2]

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.
