The Journal-Express was a weekly newspaper in Knoxville, Iowa. Its publication was discontinued in May 2020, when it was merged with The Oskaloosa Herald , making it one of 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. [2]

It was published on Friday, and had a circulation of 2,034 two years before it was discontinued. [1]

The original Knoxville Journal was founded in 1855 by William Milo Stone, later a Civil War hero and Iowa governor. [3] In those years, the paper expressed the growing sentiments of a newly minted Republican party. [3] The name Express was added after mergers built out of the old Marion County Democrat paper, founded in 1865, which itself had evolved into the Marion County Express in 1879. [4]
