The Pioneer (South Australia)
''The Pioneer'' was a weekly newspaper published in Yorketown, South Australia from March 1898 until June 1969, when it absorbed the ''Maitland Watch'' and was renamed to ''Yorke Peninsula News Pictorial''. For thirty years an opposition newspaper, the ''Clarion'' (7 June 1902 - 21 May 1931), existed in the town too. History ''The Southern Yorke's Peninsula Pioneer'' was first published on 21 January 1898, and sold at a discounted price due to its late appearance. It was originally owned and established by Ben L.
