Advertising

Sydney is Australia's advertising capital and the relationship between the city and the advertising industry stretches back to the earliest years of European settlement. Advertising helped propel commercial activity in Sydney and the advertising industry has helped shape Sydney, illuminating the city's skyline and streetscape, and influencing the lives of all Sydneysiders. Moreover, advertising has promoted the city itself as a must-see destination for tourists or a backdrop for the latest blockbuster film.

First newspaper published in Sydney, from 5 March 1803 until 20 October 1842.

Originally printed in a lean-to shed at the back of Government House, the newspaper moved to different premises in Macquarie Place in 1808 and then to a building on lower George Street in December 1810. In 1824 the printery moved again to a larger two storey building further south on George Street on the corner of Charlotte Place.
