History

First published by attorney Richard M. Smith as the Weekly Eagle on October 26, 1889,[3] it transitioned to a daily in 1913.[4]

The Eagle was owned by the Evening Post Publishing Company from 2001 to 2012, when it was sold to Berkshire Hathaway to become part of its BH Media Group subsidiary.[5][6] At that time, the paper's average weekday circulation in 2012 was 19,132.[7]

Previously, the newspaper was owned by Belo Corp. from 1995–2001,[5] Worrell Newspapers from 1988–1995, Harte-Hanks Communications from 1962–1988 and local ownership prior to that.[8] As of 2020, Lee Enterprises owns the paper.

Starting June 20, 2023, the print edition of the newspaper will be reduced to three days a week: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Also, the newspaper will transition from being delivered by a traditional newspaper delivery carrier to mail delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.[9][10]
