The Advocate was founded in 2010 by veteran Associated Press journalist Dan Robrish.[4] Robrish worked for the AP for 11 1/2 years.[5]

Before working for the Associated Press, Robrish was employed by the Pottstown Mercury, the Journal of New Ulm in Minnesota and the Ely Daily Times in Nevada.[6]

The Advocate was a "one-man" newspaper for 7 years with Robrish as the sole reporter, editor, and publisher.[7]

The Advocate superseded the Elizabethtown Chronicle which folded after 140 years in 2009.[8] The Chronicle folded when its parent company, the Journal-Register, filed for bankruptcy.

The Advocate was acquired by the LNP Media Group, a subsidiary of the Steinman Communications, in 2017.[9] LNP also publishes Lancaster County Weeklies, including The Ephrata Review and The Lititz Record.

A yearly subscription is $20.[10]
