The News Journal

The News Journal is the main newspaper for Wilmington, Delaware, and the surrounding area. It is headquartered in unincorporated New Castle County, Delaware, near New Castle, and is owned by Gannett.

History

For most of the 20th century, the Du Pont family owned two Delaware newspapers, The Morning News and The Evening Journal. Ownership of both papers was consolidated in 1919 when feuding factions of the family reconciled, forming the News Journal Company.

DuPont decided to sell The News Journal Company in 1978. Gannett won the bidding war, beating the Hearst Corporation and The Washington Post Company. Gannett paid $60 million for the two Delaware papers and merged them in 1989 to form one paper, The News Journal.

In 2010, The News Journal Company became The News Journal Media Group in an effort to collectively identify their extensive product portfolio of print, digital, video and new media.

Coverage area

The News Journal covers New Castle County most in-depth, but also offers considerable coverage of the Delaware General Assembly and the Delaware beaches. The paper also offers limited coverage of northeast Maryland and southeast Pennsylvania, mostly by means of short news briefs. The paper publishes national and international articles from wire services.

News Journal (Ohio)

The News Journal is an American daily newspaper and multimedia site (wnewsj.com) published five days per week (Tuesday-Saturday) in Wilmington, Ohio, covering Clinton County. It is owned by Civitas Media LLC, which owns approximately 100 daily and weekly newspapers in 12 states and is based in Davidson, North Carolina. Civitas Media is a subsidiary of Philadelphia-based Versa Capital Management.

The newspaper traces its history back to two weeklies, the Clinton Republican (begun in 1838 as the Western Whig, name changed the next year), and The Wilmington Journal (founded 1868), that merged into The Journal-Republican in 1912. The Wilmington News Journal was founded by W.J. Galvin on Oct. 15, 1915, originally called the Wilmington Daily News. In 1916, it merged with the semi-weekly Journal Republican and became known as the Wilmington Daily News Journal. It was owned by the Galvin family until it was sold to the Brown Publishing Company in 1986. In 2010, Brown declared bankruptcy and was reconstituted as Ohio Community Media, which later became part of Civitas/Versa. The company, including the News Journal, was purchased for an undisclosed sum in 2011 by Versa Capital Management.
