The latter newspaper was the product of the 1951 merger of The DeKalb Times and The Collinsville New Era.[1][2]
Of the 25 daily newspapers published in Alabama, the Times-Journal has the nineteenth highest daily circulation.[3]
The Times-Journal has won numerous awards from state newspaper associations, such as the Alabama Press Association and the Associated Press Managing Editors.[4]
