Lorain Journal Acquires Times-Herald - Dec. 20, 1932

It was eighty-six years ago today that Lorain became a one newspaper town.

It was on December 20, 1932 that the front page of the Lorain Journal revealed that the newspaper that day had purchased "the good will, the circulation and the physical equipment of The Lorain Times-Herald.”

The announcement noted that "the combined publications will be issued from The Lorain Journal plant.”

Interestingly, the article points out that the Journal started in 1920 as the Lorain Chronicle-Telegram, before changing its name a year later to the Lorain Evening Journal. In 1923 the paper changed its name again, to the Lorain Journal.

Although today the Morning Journal is no longer a “Lorain” paper, I’m just glad that it's still around.
