History

The publication is a consolidation of the Fossil Journal (1886), the Condon Globe (1891) and Times (1900). The most recent step in the consolidation (between the Journal and the Globe-Times) occurred in 1975. [1]

The Journal was founded 14 years prior to the incorporation of Wheeler County, by Fossil's city attorney, H. H. Hendricks. [4] The paper's second owner, James S. Stewart, was a leader in advocating for the formation of a new county, and for naming Fossil its seat. Until at least 1939, the Journal was the only newspaper in Fossil. [4]

The Globe was Condon's first paper, launched in 1891 by Sloan P. Shutt. By 1909 it had become an independent Republican paper. In 1919 it was merged with the Times, which had been launched in 1900, and was a Republican paper from its inception. [5]

As of 2018, the Times-Journal is owned by Macro Graphics of Condon, and its publishers are McLaren and Janet Stinchfield. McLaren Stinchfield, who serves as editor, got his start in the Condon news business in the mid 1970s. [6]
