History

In 1873, the first edition appeared. During these periods were to be rented in the building that the rival Detroit Free Press belonged. In its history, the Detroit News has bought several newspapers. On February 1, 1919, the Detroit Tribune was taken, on July 21, 1922 followed by the Detroit Journal and on November 7, 1960, she bought the Detroit Times, which was on the decline, and hired this publication. However, the Detroit News took until 1967 the building of the Detroit Times to print their newspaper. In that year a new facility in Sterling Heights and the old building was demolished opened. The place where there was the old building until 2009 was known as Times Square. In 2009 he had to give way to the Rosa Parks Transit Centre.

1985, joined The Evening News Associacation, the owner of the Detroit News, along with Gannett.

The Detroit News claim to be for the first newspaper that has its own radio station, called 8MK operated. He went on 20 August 1920 at the show and is now one of WWJ, which in turn belongs to CBS. 1947 opened Michigan's first television station, called WWJ - TV, which is called WDIV - TV today.

In 1989, the Detroit News went to a 100 -year-old joint operating agreement with one of the rival Free Press, which governs the cooperation between the two newspapers. Thus, business processes have been combined, while the staff and the orientation remain independent. The resulting joint company called Detroit Newspaper Partnership. The Free Press in 1998 moved to the building of the Detroit News and until 7 May 2006, a joint weekend edition. Today, the Detroit News, which has won three Pulitzer Prizes appears daily from Monday to Saturday and has editorial responsibility for a page in the Sunday Free Press.
