The Norman Transcript is a daily newspaper published in Norman, Oklahoma, USA, covering Cleveland and McClain counties, in the southern suburbs of Oklahoma City. It is owned by Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.
Founded by settler Ed P. Engle shortly after the Land Run of 1889, the weekly Transcript was sold to J.J. Burke in 1903. Burke established a companion free daily newspaper in 1912, later merging the two editions into a paid daily in 1917. The paper's first chain owner was Donrey Media Group in 1985; CNHI bought The Transcript from Donrey in 1998.[2]
The newspaper's marketing slogan is "Trusted, Tested, Timeless." Its mission statement emphasizes its focus on promoting Norman -- home of the University of Oklahoma -- as "a unique identity and culture"; and maintaining a centrist and pragmatic editorial page.[3]
