The Singapore Chronicle

The Singapore Chronicle, initially the Singapore Chronicle or Commercial Register, was the first newspaper to be published in Singapore. The first issue was published on 1 January 1824 and its founding editor was Francis James Bernard, with John Crawfurd serving as its primary contributor in its early years. The Chronicle remained the only newspaper on the island until founding of the The Singapore Free Press in 1935. Unable to compete with the latter, the Chronicle folded in 1837.
