The News (Adelaide)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The News was an afternoon daily tabloid newspaper in the city of Adelaide, South Australia.
The newspaper was established in 1869 as the Evening Journal. At the time of his death it was owned by Sir Keith Murdoch and was the main asset passed to his son Rupert. It was the latter's first media interest and commenced the foundation of what was to become News Limited and subsequently the international media conglomerate, News Corporation.
Later Murdoch acquired the city's other local newspaper, the morning daily broadsheet, The Advertiser. Rupert Murdoch sold The News in 1987 and many of its journalists moved to The Advertiser. The News closed in 1992.
