Journal Gazette & Times-Courier
The Courier, Charleston's inaugural newspaper, was launched in 1840. In 1966, Betty Boyer, a former employee of The Courier, established the Daily Times. Just two years later, in 1968, she led the merging of the two publications to form the Times-Courier. In Mattoon, the Weekly Independent Gazette was founded in 1856, followed by the Mattoon Journal in 1865. These two publications joined forces in 1905. In 1971, Howard Publications acquired both the Journal Gazette and the Times-Courier. Then, in April 2002, Lee Enterprises took over all 16 newspapers owned by Howard Publications.
