Scope and Content

The Dayton Daily News is published in Dayton, Ohio. On August 15, 1898, James M. Cox purchased the Dayton Evening News, and one week later (August 22, 1898) he renamed it the Dayton Daily News. A Sunday edition was launched on November 2, 1913. In 1948, Cox purchased two morning papers, The Journal and The Herald, and the next year he combined them to form The Journal Herald. For the next four decades, The Journal-Herald was the conservative morning paper, and the Dayton Daily News (which had a larger circulation) was the liberal evening paper. The papers operated newsrooms on separate floors of the same building in downtown Dayton. On September 15, 1986, The Journal-Herald and the Daily News were merged to become a morning paper, the Dayton Daily News and Journal-Herald, with both names appearing on the front page. The Journal-Herald name last appeared on the paper's front-page flag on December 31, 1987. Holdings include one (1) issue - August 14, 1945
