History

The Guardian was founded by A. M. Murray in 1888, its first edition being published on 11 August. [4] The company was first sold to Messrs Rae, Everingham and Co. in 1891, [5] who then sold the paper to Angus Knox Chapman and William Smith the following year. [6]

When Smith retired in 1927, Chapman took full control, [7] running the paper with his wife, Caroline. [8]

In 1937, following the death of Angus Knox Chapman in January of that year, [9] Caroline Chapman sells the newspaper to the Elliot Newspaper Group in December. [10]

In 2013, the newspaper's website experienced an increase of visitors due to the launch of the British Guardian's Australian website. [11] [12]

On 24 March 2020, Elliott Newspaper Group announced that due to the coronavirus pandemic, it would cease publishing its newspapers until further notice, effective from the following week. [13] The Guardian resumed publication on 1 May as a weekly publication released on Fridays. [14] A Tuesday edition was added on 2 March 2021. [2]
