The Alpena News is a general daily newspaper in the city of Alpena, Michigan in the United States.[3] It is published by Ogden Newspapers Inc. News reports are available on line.[4] The paper was founded in 1899.[1][5] [A] The paper currently has between 20 and 50 employees.[6]

It is the newspaper of record for Alpena County. The circulation area of the Alpena News covers much of Northern Michigan, with a particular emphasis on counties in the northeast lower peninsula.

History

[edit]

On August 1, 1899, E.S. Meers began publishing The Alpena Evening News. It was renamed as The Alpena News in 1914.[5]

In its early years it was edited by James Collins, a fiery and opinionated Irishman, who continued as editor until 1909 when he then edited the Alpena Argus-Pioneer.[8]

Alpena had many papers initially. There have been at least a dozen papers (some are name changes) over the years.[5] In 1900, there were two dailies, the Echo and the News; and three weeklies, Alpena Weekly Argus, Farmer and Pioneer. The News was left as the sole survivor by 1918.[9]

The Alpena News is owned by Ogden Newspapers, which includes Escanaba's Daily Press, Houghton's The Daily Mining Gazette, Iron Mountain Daily News, Marquette's The Mining Journal, and Discover.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ Another source erroneously claims the founding was in 1909.[6] In fact, that was the year that The Alpena News was incorporated by James Collins, W. R. Roberson and Thomas J. Ferguson.[7]
