South Bend News-Times

The South Bend News-Times was a daily newspaper in South Bend, Indiana, in the United States, from 1913 to 1938.

The News-Times was started in June 1913 through a merger of the South Bend Times and South Bend News. The Times traced its history back to 1881, and was where sportswriter and short story writer Ring Lardner was a writer before moving to Chicago. The News was founded in 1908 and acquired the Times from John Stoll in August 1911.

It originally published twice-a-day and changed to once-a-day in 1927. Though its circulation grew during the Great Depression of 1930s, it was operating at a loss, and stopped publishing late 1938.[1][2]

The paper was an early participant in the Scripps National Spelling Bee, and sponsored Betty Robinson, who won the 4th Bee in 1928.[3]
