Newcastle Advertiser continues serving community after 125 years
Your trusted news outlet still serves as the ‘watchdog’ of the community after all these years.
This year, the Newcastle Advertiser is turning 125 years old!
That means your trusted news outlet has served as the ‘watchdog’ of the community, informing residents of what is happening in their hometown and holding authorities to account for the past 125 years.
From humble beginnings
Founded in 1901 as a modest four-page publication, the Advertiser began primarily as an advertising sheet.
Over the decades, it expanded significantly, growing into a respected publication that at one stage incorporated 10 newspapers and a magazine.
Evolving with the times
As the media landscape changed, so too did the Advertiser. Its look, style and approach were refined to reach a broader audience, delivering a balanced mix of news, entertainment, sport and interactive content each week.
The Newcastle Advertiser has also made sure to keep up with the times by creating an online presence, which includes Facebook lives and videos, galleries, a TikTok page, Instagram and an ever-growing website, making sure that our news reaches every corner of the globe.
One principle, however, has remained constant: a commitment to accurate reporting, exposing injustice and providing a platform to recognise the unsung heroes within the community.
