The News Journal is an American daily newspaper published daily except Sundays and holidays in Wilmington, Ohio, covering Clinton County. It is owned by Ohio Community Media, a subsidiary of Versa Capital Management.
The newspaper traces its history back to two weeklies, the Clinton Republican (begun in 1838 as the Western Whig, name changed the next year),[1] and The Wilmington Journal (founded 1868), that merged into The Journal-Republican in 1912.[2] This paper merged with the Wilmington Daily News (founded 1915) in 1919 to form the Wilmington News Journal.[2]
More recently, the News Journal was part of Brown Publishing Company when the Cincinnati-based family business declared bankruptcy in 2010 and was reconstituted as Ohio Community Media.[3] The company, including the News Journal, was purchased for an undisclosed sum in 2011 by Philadelphia-based Versa Capital Management.[4]
