'''''Eyre's Peninsula Tribune
was founded in December 1910, with the first issue released on 10 March 1911. The newspaper was founded in Cowell by Charles Wallace, and after his death in 1912 it was managed by George Wallace, and in 1920 it was sold to E.R. Main. In 1941, during wartime rationing, it subsumed the Kimba Dispatch'''
(2 September 1927 - 9 May 1941), which had been founded as a subsidiary by Main. On Thursday 15 May 1941, a subtitle (with which is incorporated the Kimba "Dispatch."
) was added, but in January 1951, the title was simplified to Eyre Peninsula Tribune''. After Main's death in 1959, the
Tribune was taken over by the
Port Lincoln Times, who also owned the
Areas Express (1959–1960), combining the two under the
Tribune title. who then on-sold the newspaper, along with many other state and nationwide titles, to Tony Catalano, rebranding as Australian Community Media.
Port Lincoln Times and
West Coast Sentinel were also purchased at this time. Restructures within the company stood down the Port Lincoln Times Editor, who oversaw editing for the
Tribune. Initially citing a two-week Easter break, the
Tribune printed its last copy on 9 April 2020. Following in-company talks about the developing COVID-19 crisis, ACM later stood-down several non-daily newspapers indefinitely, along with several journalists. In early 2021, it was decided to officially cease publication of the
Tribune, along with several other smaller rural publications in South Australia, and many websites were subsequently shut down. ACM has never made an official statement in regards to this. Following the cessation, the District Council of Cleve began talks with several independent publishers, and committed advertising funds to get a new newspaper started. Several surrounding councils followed suit and a new publication,
Eyre Peninsula Advocate, distributed its first edition in September 2021. It is run by Papers and Publications. ==Distribution==
