The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus is a daily newspaper published in Howell, Michigan and owned by Gannett. [2] It covers news and sports within Livingston County and had offices in both Howell and Brighton. The Brighton office closed in December 2008. Its printing facility is located in Howell Township. It publishes every day, except Saturday.
The newspaper's roots can be traced back to 1843 and the Livingston Courier. [3] It was the county's first and only newspaper until Howell resident George W. Lee launched the Livingston Republican in 1855. In 1857 the Courier folded, was purchased by a Democrat and renamed the Livingston Democrat. That paper folded in 1890 and was bought by a group of Democrats, who ran it until 1928.
One year later, the Democrat and Republican merged to become the Livingston County Republican Press. In 1937 the paper shortened its name to the Livingston County Press. In 1993 the state designated the paper a registered historic site. On September 7, 2000, two weekly newspapers, The Brighton Argus and Livingston County Press, merged and became what is currently known as the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus.
Gannett, which also runs the Lansing State Journal and Detroit Free Press , bought the newspaper from the HomeTown Communications Network in April 2005. The newspaper saw an increase in circulation in 2009 after the Ann Arbor News became AnnArbor.com, reducing its publishing days to twice a week, and the Flint Journal reduced its publishing days to three days a week.
Livingston County is a county in the U.S. state of Michigan. As of the 2020 Census, the population was 193,866. It is part of the Detroit-Warren-Dearborn, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area. The county seat and most populous city is Howell. The county was platted in 1833, but for three years remained assigned to Shiawassee and Washtenaw counties for revenue, taxation and judicial matters. It was formally organized in 1836. As one of Michigan's "Cabinet counties", a group of ten counties whose names honor members of President Andrew Jackson's Cabinet, it is named after former US Secretary of State Edward Livingston. Livingston County's location in Southeast Michigan offers residents relatively convenient access to the metropolitan centers of Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and Flint. Livingston County residents regularly commute to those centers, using the three major expressways which pass through the county: I-96, US 23, and M-59. Although continuing to be composed largely of bedroom communities, the county is experiencing and maintaining significant growth in both the service and industrial economic sectors. Major employers include Tribar, PepsiCo, Citizens Insurance, and ThaiSummit. The Brighton Recreation Area is in the county.

The Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 was an Act of the United States Congress, signed by President Richard Nixon, authorizing the formation of joint operating agreements among competing newspaper operations within the same media market area. It exempted newspapers from certain provisions of antitrust laws. Its drafters argued that this would allow the survival of multiple daily newspapers in a given urban market where circulation was declining. This exemption stemmed from the observation that the alternative is usually for at least one of the newspapers, generally the one published in the evening, to cease operations altogether.
