Ottumwa Courier

The Ottumwa Courier, previously known as the Ottumwa Daily Courier, is a daily newspaper that is published five days a week (from Tuesday to Saturday) in Ottumwa, Iowa. It serves the Wapello County area and is owned by Community Newspaper Holdings Inc. (CNHI). This publication has a rich history, having been in operation since 1848 and becoming a daily newspaper in 1865, making it the longest-running business in Ottumwa. Originally founded as the flagship paper for A.W. Lee's media venture in 1890, it later became part of a company that would be known as Lee Enterprises. In 1999, the Courier was sold to Liberty Publishing Group, which then sold it to CNHI in 2001, where it has remained ever since.
