Maysville Ledger Independent
Maysville Ledger Independent is a daily newspaper in Maysville, Kentucky, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.
The newspaper is published six days a week - Monday through Saturday.
The Ledger-Independent traces its roots to the founding of The Public Ledger in 1892. It was bought by Arthur F. Curran in 1909 and was sold to Clarence Mathews and William D. Cochran in 1915. By 1920, The Public Ledger was under the sole ownership of Clarence Mathews. The Daily Independent, first published under the "Mason Independent" masthead in 1907, was founded by James and John L. (Jack) Purdon. In 1911, the paper came under the sole ownership of James Purdon. The Daily Independent absorbed its morning rival, The Daily Bulletin, in 1936. The Ledger-Independent was first published on October 1, 1968, following the simultaneous buyout of the city's two daily newspapers, The Public Ledger and The Daily Independent, by the Gadsden (Ala.) Times Publishing Corporation. The newly-chartered Maysville Publishing Corporation, with former Gadsden Times business manager James M. Striplin as president and publisher, continued publication of an afternoon edition of The Public Ledger while the company's morning edition carried the masthead of both papers. In 1980, Howard Publications, Inc. purchased the Maysville Publishing Corporation. The Howard family sold all 17 of its daily newspapers to Lee Enterprises in 2002.
