[edit] History

Ogden's first newspaper began publication in 1869. but the lineage of the current Standard-Examiner dates from January 1, 1888, when the first issue of the Ogden Standard was distributed. The Ogden Examiner was established in 1904, and the two papers were merged on April 1, 1920, creating the current nameplate.

The Standard-Examiner maintained offices in the Kiesel Building in downtown Ogden until 1961, when it relocated to 455 23rd Street, a building originally constructed to serve as Ogden's National Guard armory. In 2000, the paper's offices and printing plant moved to a remodeled building at Business Depot Ogden, the former Defense Depot Ogden.

Historically an evening newspaper, the Standard-Examiner switched to morning publication in 2000.
