The Midland Daily News is a daily newspaper which serves Midland County, Michigan. The offices for the paper are located at 219 East Main Street in downtown Midland; the paper is widely circulated around Midland County. [2]

Contents

The newspaper also prints the school newspaper for Herbert Henry Dow High School, The Update. The Daily News is the last daily newspaper in the Tri-Cities left with a regular print schedule, since the Bay City Times and Saginaw News cut back their print editions to three times a week in June 2009. It publishes 6 days a week, with a weekend edition.

History

The paper can trace its lineage to the 1858 founding of the Midland Sentinel, which after a number of ownership and name changes became the Midland Republican in 1881. In 1937, Republican publisher Philip T. Rich founded the Midland Daily News as a successor to the weekly Republican. [3] In 1968, Rich sold the paper to Lindsay-Schaub Newspapers, a company based in Decatur, Illinois. In 1979, Lee Enterprises purchased the Daily News along with other Lindsay-Schaub papers, then immediately resold the paper to the Hearst Corporation. [3]
