Nebraska State Journal
Template:Italic title The Nebraska State Journal (NSJ), also known as Lincoln Nebraska State Journal, was a daily newspaper published from 1867 through 1951. The first newspaper for the city of Lincoln, Nebraska,[1] it was founded by Charles H. Gere and W. W. Carder in 1867 with the name title of the Nebraska Commonwealth.[2] It was first published on September 7, 1867 but did not become a daily publication until three years later by July 20, 1870.[1] Two years after its founding, its name was changed from the Nebraska Commonwealth to the Nebraska State Journal in 1869,[1] and at this time John Q. Brownslee joined Gere as a publisher of the paper.[3] Gere remained editor-in-chief of the NSJ until his death in 1904.[4]
In 1949 the paper was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service.[5]
In 1951 the paper, now owned by J.C. Seacrest, ceased publication when it was merged with Seacrest's other newspaper, the Lincoln Evening Journal, to form the Lincoln Evening Journal & Nebraska State Journal.[6] That paper remained in existence until 1995 when it merged with the Lincoln Daily Star to form the Lincoln Journal Star.[7]
