History edit
The Library of Congress records the Manfield News as operating from 1894-1932. W.S. Cappeller and H.S. Heistand were its publishers.[2] Howard Louis Conard, who went on to serve as Ohio State Librarian and who authored biographies and edit encyclopedias, was an editor at the paper.[3]
The News Journal was formed by the merger of the Mansfield News and the Mansfield Journal in 1932. The paper celebrated its 75th anniversary in December 2007.
Overview edit
