Newspaper articles
In the late nineteenth century, an era without radio, television or the Internet, the Press played a major role in providing information and influencing opinion. Selected newspaper articles from the Observer and Advertiser trace the development of Federation and South Australia's role in this process. Factors which contributed towards the final achievement of Federation, including defence, trade, transport and economic depression, are featured. Influential issues such as attachment to the British Empire, desire for racial exclusiveness, and attainment of women's suffrage in South Australia are recorded.
A comparison of reports about Federation in these two newspapers reveals the diversity of opinion on the best way to achieve a union of the colonies. The Observer supported Federation and presented positive reports of its progress, advocating a "Yes" vote at the 1898 Referendum. The Advertiser was rather critical of its development, and of the Commonwealth Bill, and printed more negative comments in both articles and letters to the Editor. However, by 1899 the Advertiser began to publish more accepting articles, and its proprietor Langdon Bonython became one of the first members of Federal Parliament.
Both the Observer and the Advertiser were published in Adelaide, the Observer as a weekly publication, and the Advertiser as a morning daily. Rural newspapers including Mount Gambier's Border Watch, Port Augusta Dispatch, and Mount Barker Courier; the Labor Party's Workers' Weekly Herald; and magazines Quiz and the Lantern and Critic, also provide contemporary coverage about Federation. These publications are available to view on microfilm in the State Library of South Australia.
