The Chronicle was a South Australian weekly newspaper, printed from 1858 to 1975, which evolved through a series of titles. It was printed by the publishers of The Advertiser, its content consisting largely of reprints of articles and Births, Marriages and Deaths columns from the parent newspaper. Its target demographic was country areas where mail delivery was infrequent, and businesses which serviced those areas.
When The South Australian Advertiser was first published, on 12 July 1858, the editor and managing director John H. Barrow also announced the South Australian Weekly Chronicle, which published on Saturdays.[1]
