[edit] History

The Chronicle-Journal's name is a combination of the names of the Daily Times-Journal of Fort William and the News-Chronicle of Port Arthur.

The Daily Times-Journal was created in 1899 when the Fort William Journal merged with the Fort William Times. In 1902 the Daily Times-Journal became the second newspaper in Canada to adopt a weekly payment plan for paper carriers. The News-Chronicle was first published in 1899.

In 1972, after the amalgamation of Port Arthur and Fort William in the city of Thunder Bay, the newspapers merged and became the morning daily Chronicle-Journal and evening daily Times-News. The newspaper relocated to its current building in 1977. On April 17, 1996, publication of the evening Times-News ceased.[4]
