History

The Journal began as the Nemaha Valley Journal in 1868. [1] [2] It replaced an earlier newspaper known as the Broadaxe. [2] It changed its name to the Falls City Globe-Journal in 1875, after merging with the Falls City Little Globe, and adopted its current name ("Falls City Journal") in 1882. [3] By this point, it was a daily newspaper, and remained so throughout much of the 20th century. However, it changed from a daily newspaper to a semiweekly newspaper in 1994, [3] and launched a web edition in 2010. [4]

Early publishers of the Journal included former Nebraska state senator Theodore Pepoon, who owned and operated the paper from 1881 to 1885. [5] Under Pepoon, the paper was known for its promotion of Radical Republican politics.

The Falls City Journal was sold to Richard L. Halbert on September 1, 2017. [6]
