The Dispatch Broadcast Group, comprising WBNS-AM- FM- TV in Columbus and NBC affiliate WTHR (channel 13) in Indianapolis, remained in the hands of the Wolfe family until 2019, when it was sold to Tegna, Inc., which promptly absorbed the firm. In a sale announced on June 3, 2015, ownership of the Dispatch was transferred to GateHouse Media. The Dispatch endorsed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Ted Strickland in the 2006 Ohio elections, but endorsed John Kasich, the Republican candidate running against his reelection, in 2010 Ī competing paper, The Columbus Citizen-Journal (known locally as the 'C-J', pronounced 'See-Jay') was beholden to the Columbus Dispatch for its printing facilities, and controversy surrounded the C-J's demise in 1985. Until it endorsed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, the paper's last endorsement of a Democrat as a Presidential candidate had been for the re-election of Woodrow Wilson in 1916. The paper's editorial staff traditionally has had a conservative slant. In the interlude, the paper ran its offices out of 34/36 North High Street. On April 9, 1907, the Dispatch offices were destroyed in a fire, and the building was demolished and rebuilt. On December 16, 1906, the paper published its first color ad, for Beggs Store.

The Dispatch would remain in the hands of the Wolfe family for 110 years. It was not the Wolfes' first entry into journalism they had purchased the Ohio State Journal two years before. In 1905, it was purchased by brothers Harry Preston Wolfe and Robert Frederick Wolfe, who originally ran a shoe company. The paper, renamed The Columbus Evening Dispatch, changed hands several times in its early years. Two years later on March 3, 1901, the paper published its first color comic strips. On December 17, 1899, the paper published its first Sunday edition, a 36-page paper which cost 3¢ (106¢ in 2022), and the daily editions were reduced in price to 2¢ (70¢ in 2022). On April 10, the paper published a 72-page edition to mark the move. In 1895, the paper moved its headquarters to the northeast corner of Gay and High streets, a larger building on a site which was previously a grocer. On April 2, 1888, the paper published its first full-page advertisement, for the Columbus Buggy Company. For its first few years, the paper rented a headquarters on North High Street and Lynn Alley in Columbus. The paper was originally an afternoon paper for the city of Columbus, Ohio, which at the time had a population of 32,000. The paper published its first issue as The Daily Dispatch on July 1, 1871, as a four-page paper which cost 4¢ (98¢ in 2022) per copy. The paper was founded in June 1871 by a group of 10 printers with US$900 in financial capital.

Miller is the newspaper's interim general manager. Its first issue was published on July 1, 1871, and it has been the only mainstream daily newspaper in the city since The Columbus Citizen-Journal ceased publication in 1985.Īs of November 2019, Alan D.
