The Journal News
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : The Journal News
The Journal News is a newspaper serving the New York counties of Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam. It is owned by the Gannett Company, Inc.
The Journal News was created through a merger of several daily community newspapers serving the three counties. Although the current newspaper's name comes from Rockland Journal-News, which was based in West Nyack, N.Y., and served Rockland County, the Rockland Journal-News was actually the third-largest newspaper that Gannett merged to create the larger newspaper. The Reporter Dispatch from White Plains, N.Y., and the Herald Statesman in Yonkers, N.Y. were larger and served Westchester County. For years prior to the October 12, 1998, merger that created The Journal News, the 10 newspapers shared substantial content and printing presses. Gannett acquired nine of the newspapers in 1964 from the Macy family and added The Star in Peekskill, N.Y., in 1985.
Newspapers that merged to create The Journal News:
- The Daily Times (Mamaroneck)
- The Daily Argus (Mount Vernon)
- The Standard-Star (New Rochelle)
- The Citizen Register (Ossining)
- The Star (Peekskill)
- The Daily Item (Port Chester)
- The Daily News (Tarrytown)
- Rockland Journal-News (West Nyack)
- The Reporter Dispatch (White Plains)
- The Herald Statesman (Yonkers)
