The newspaper claims a readership of 15,000 people and has an audited circulation of 4401.〔(News Corp Australia )〕 ==Early history== The Centralian Advocate was first published on 24 May 1947.〔(Centralian Advocate, 24 May 1947 )〕 The newspaper was founded by Charles Henry "Pop" Chapman who had made his fortune gold mining in the Tanami Desert. The first edition contained a mix of news and opinion from Alice Springs and around the world. Mention was made of a predecessor, The Dead Heart, which was described as a "news sheet" that published 30 editions in seven months.〔(The Dead Heart passes, Centralian Advocate, 24 May 1947 )〕 Walter Allan was the inaugural editor. Allan Wauchope was editor and part-owner in January 1950 when the Centralian Advocate building on Railway Terrace was destroyed by fire, causing damage estimated at £15,000 and prompting the newspaper to criticise the lack of a fire brigade at that time in Alice Springs. War hero Jim Bowditch wrote for the newspaper from 1950–54 and later become editor of the NT News. Bowditch used the newspaper to campaign for the right of Aboriginal people with white heritage to receive full citizenship.〔( Hamilton, Stephen and Carment, David: The Northern Territory Press. Media International Australia, Incorporating Culture & Policy, No. 150, Feb 2014: 56-60. )〕 Bowditch was active in community affairs through his interests in politics, theatre and cricket.〔(Bowditch storms Alice Springs and goes into print by Peter Simon, April 2012 )〕 Chapman sold the business in April 1949 to Wauchope, Ron Morcom and Mrs JH McArthur.〔(Centralian Advocate, 22 April 1949 )〕 There were several other owners before News Corp bought the Centralian Advocate in 1966. 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「Centralian Advocate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
