The Times and Northern Advertiser

The Times and Northern Advertiser (subtitled: Peterborough, South Australia) was a weekly newspaper published in Peterborough, South Australia from 1887 to 1970. The first issue of The Petersburg Times: Orroroo Chronicle and Northern Advertiser appeared on 12 August 1887.

Throughout its run, The Petersburg Times retained it name, although the subtitle changed numerous times. However, in May 1919, the paper's name was changed to The Times and Northern Advertiser, Peterborough, South Australia in response to the government's wish to remove Germanic placenames. In 1946, the newspaper absorbed the Jamestown Star and Farmer's Journal. In 1970, the Times was merged with two other northern newspapers to become the Review-Times, which soon became defunct.
