Laredo Morning Times

The Laredo Morning Times is a daily newspaper publication based in Laredo, Texas, USA. It is owned by the Hearst Corporation.

The Laredo Morning Times was founded on June 14, 1881 as "the Laredo Weekly," a four-page newspaper published by James Saunders Penn. Two years later, the paper became a daily as the "Laredo Daily Times." In 1986, William B. Green became only the ninth publisher of the Laredo Morning Times, which started in a corner of a downtown building on Farragut Street in Laredo.

History

During the 125-year run, the afternoon "Laredo Times" became the "Laredo Morning Times." The newspapers, under different names, have covered nearly half of Laredo's history. The city was founded on May 15, 1755.

Historians continue to use the newspaper as a primary source for information to learn of Laredo's culture and traditions, all documented for readers and their posterity.

In the same year that the Laredo Morning Times began publication, the Abilene Reporter-News and the El Paso Times were also born. The Beaumont Journal-Enterprise, began a year earlier in 1880.
