History
What is now known as the Daily Iowegian first published on April 7, 1883, as the "Industrial Iwegian." The moniker of the newspaper then was "A paper devoted to the interests of the industrial classes."[3]
At the time it was founded, there were two other newspapers in the county: The Centerville Citizen (established in 1864) and the Centerville Journal.[4]
Over the years, papers began consolidating. The Industrial Iwegian changed its name to the semi-weekly Iowegian.
In 1916, the Centerville Citizen and semi-weekly Iowegian combined, creating the current newspaper known as the Daily Iowegian.[5]
In 1983, Appanoose County Publishing purchased the Iowegian. They combined it with the Ad Express, a free shopper.[6]
In 1999, Community Newspaper Holdings, Inc. (later shortened to CNHI) purchased the Daily Iowegian and Ad Express.[7]
The paper ceased publication and merged with Ottumwa Courier in May 2020, making it one of 16 publications shut down by owner CNHI due to business losses associated with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.[8]
