Pensacola News Journal

    

Pensacola News Journal is a daily newspaper in Pensacola, Florida, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.

The newspaper is published seven days a week.

The Pensacola News Journal traces its roots to 1889, when a group of Pensacola businessmen founded the Pensacola Daily News. The Daily News printed its first issue on March 5, 1889, with an initial circulation of 2,500 copies. Then, in March of 1897, a Pensacolian named M. Loftin founded a newsweekly, the Pensacola Journal. The Journal converted to a daily format a year later. The two dailies competed in the struggle to be recognized as Pensacola's top daily newspaper. By 1922, the Journal was in dire financial trouble, and was eventually purchased by New York businessman John Holliday Perry, who at about the same time also acquired papers in Jacksonville and Panama City. Two years later, Perry bought the Daily News and merged the two newspapers' operations. For the next six decades, the Pensacola Journal continued to appear mornings and the Pensacola News evenings, with a combined Sunday edition as the Pensacola News Journal. On July 1, 1969, Perry Publications chairman and president John H. Perry, Jr. announced that the company had sold the two papers to Gannett Co., Inc. for $15.5 million. The News was folded into the Journal in 1985.

Circulation: 40,219 copies

This newspaper is owned by Gannett Company, Inc..
