The Detroit News is one of the two major newspapers in the U.S. city of Detroit, Michigan. The paper began in 1873, when it rented space in the rival Detroit Free Press's building. The News absorbed the Detroit Tribune on February 1, 1919, the Detroit Journal on July 21, 1922, and on November 7, 1960, it bought and closed the faltering Detroit Times. However, it retained the Times' building, which it used as a printing plant until 1975, when a new facility opened in Sterling Heights. The Times building was demolished in 1978.[2] The street in downtown Detroit where the Times building once stood is still called "Times Square." The Evening News Association, owner of The News, merged with Gannett in 1985.

The News claims to have been the first newspaper in the world to operate a radio station, station 8MK, which began broadcasting August 20, 1920. 8MK is now CBS-owned WWJ. In 1947, it established Michigan's first television station, WWJ-TV, now WDIV-TV; it has been a primary NBC affiliate since sign-on, owing to WWJ-AM's ties with the NBC Radio Network.

The Detroit News was founded by James E. Scripps, who, in turn, was the older half-brother and one-time partner of Edward W. Scripps. The paper's eventual success, however, is largely credited to Scripps' son-in-law, George Gough Booth, who came aboard at the request of his wife's father. Booth went on to construct Michigan's largest newspaper empire, founding the independent Booth Newspapers chain (now owned by S.I. Newhouse's Advance Publications) with his two brothers.

In 1931, The Detroit News made history when it bought a three-place Pitcairn PCA-2 auto-gyro as a camera aircraft that could take off and land in restricted places and semi-hover for photos. It was the ancestor of today's well-known news helicopter.[4] In 1935 a single Lockheed Model 9 Orion was purchased and modified by Lockheed as a news camera plane for The Detroit News. To work in that role, a pod was built into the frontal leading edge of the right-wing about eight feet (2.4 m) out from the fuselage. This pod had a glass dome on the front and a mounted camera. To aim the camera the pilot was provided with a primitive grid-like gun sight on his windshield.[5]

August 3, 2005, Gannett announced that it would sell The News to MediaNews Group and purchase the Free Press from the Knight Ridder company. With this move, Gannett became the managing partner in the papers' joint operating agreement. On May 7, 2006, the combined Sunday Detroit News and Free Press was replaced by a stand-alone Sunday Free Press. On December 16, 2008, Detroit Media Partnership announced a plan to limit weekday home delivery for both dailies to Thursday and Friday only. On other weekdays the paper sold at newsstands would be smaller, about 32 pages, and redesigned. This arrangement went into effect on March 30, 2009.[8]

Today, the Detroit News Building is home to not only its namesake newspaper, but also the paper's arch-rival, the Detroit Free Press. This has made the structure the undisputed home of Michigan news media.

The paper was born Aug. 23, 1873, when newspaper tycoon James E. Scripps began publishing The Evening News. While most papers today hit doorsteps in the morning, the News came in the afternoon. The paper proved to be an almost instant success, with Detroiters eating up Scripps' brand of local interest stories over dinner or after work.

The statues are of Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of moveable type, which allowed for the mass production of books and the birth of the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods; William Caxton, who brought the printing press to England and is said to have been that nation's first printer; Christophe Plantin, an influential printer during the Renaissance period; and Benjamin Franklin, who was not only key in America's founding, but also had a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette, and printed "Poor Richard's Almanack." Franklin was a firm believer in the power - and the importance - of the press.

In 1988, the Detroit Free Press and Detroit News entered into a joint-operating agreement. While the rivals would maintain separate newsrooms, they would share operating expenses. About a decade later, it was decided they would share a home, too.

On Jan. 23, 2013, it was announced that both papers would leave the historic structure for smaller, cheaper confines. The following month, the Detroit Media Partnership -- the agency over both newspapers -- said it would relocated its 550 employees to the Federal Reserve Building in the fall of 2014.
