History

The Daily Gazette was founded in 1894 [4] as a weekly newspaper by the Marlette family. It was sold to the Schenectady Printing Association in September of that year, and expanded into a daily newspaper, while still publishing its weekly edition. By 1895, it had a circulation of 3,000 copies a day. [5]

From 1902 to 1989 inclusively, the newspaper's title was Schenectady Gazette. [6] In 1990, the paper changed its name to The Daily Gazette (thus reverting to its initial title but including the definite article in the title). [7] Also in 1990, it began publishing a Sunday edition. In 1996, the Gazette launched its free website, which it turned into a subscriber-based website in 2003. As of 2020, it offers a select number of free articles online per month, with full access available by subscription. [8]

Judith Patrick became editor of the newspaper in 2012. She was the first woman to have the position. [9] The board of directors appointed John DeAugustine as publisher in 2013. [10]

In December 2019, the Gazette Company acquired the Amsterdam Recorder, Courier-Standard-Enterprise and Fulton County Express. [11] In 2021, the Gazette Company acquired The Gloversville Leader Herald. [12] In 2024, the Gazette Company acquired The Register Star in Columbia County and The Daily Mail in Greene County. [13]

In May 2024, the Hume-Lind family agreed to sell the paper to its publisher John DeAugustine. [14]
