History edit

The newspaper was first published in 1872.[2]

In 1956, the Dial was bought by reporter and editor Ralph Goldsmith, who ran it with his wife until selling it in 1992.[3] On its sale, Goldsmith cited his son's reluctance to follow him into the business. Goldsmith was entered into the Wisconsin Newspaper Hall of Fame in 2002.[3]

The paper was sold by William Hale to Morris Multimedia in 2002 as one paper in a seven paper deal.[4]
