The Detroit News is a major daily newspaper serving Detroit, Michigan, and the surrounding region. Founded in 1873, it is one of the city's two primary newspapers and has a long history of reporting on local and national affairs. The publication is notable for its extensive coverage of Michigan politics, business, and community events, establishing itself as a key source of information for the area's residents.
Historically, The Detroit News grew through absorbing several other local publications, including the Detroit Tribune and the Detroit Journal. Its ownership transitioned when its parent company, The Evening News Association, merged with the national media chain Gannett in 1985, a move that integrated the paper into a larger network while it continued its local operations. This history underscores its enduring presence in Detroit's media landscape.
Recently, The Detroit News has been actively covering a wide range of current events. Its reporting includes topics such as local government transparency in Rochester, trends in immigrant student enrollment in U.S. schools, and detailed sports coverage of Detroit teams like the Red Wings and Lions. These stories reflect the newspaper's ongoing role in providing timely news on civic issues, education, and sports to its readership.
