The Dallas Morning News is a daily newspaper in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, USA covering local news, sports, business, politics and community events.
The newspaper is published seven days a week.
The Dallas Morning News (DMN) is the major daily newspaper serving the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex along with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. It became the only daily in the city of Dallas in December 1991 when its competition, the Dallas Times Herald, was bought by DMN owner Belo Corporation (now DallasNews Corporation) for $55 million. Belo immediately shut the Times Herald down.
The newspaper was first published in October 1885 under the ownership of Alfred Horatio Belo, who also operated the Galveston Daily News. Belo gave George Bannerman Dealey, 26, the job of starting The Dallas Morning News and in 1926 Dealey bought the business. Dealey kept the company name to honor Belo for giving him the chance to run the Morning News, and Dealey and his grandsons built Belo Corporation into a major American media company.
On June 29, 2021, the company was renamed DallasNews Corporation and it now trades on the Nasdaq with the ticker symbol DALN. The change was proposed earlier that year by company Chairman Robert W. Decherd, a descendant of George Dealey, as a way to embrace "the social justice movement underway in America." Before getting into the newspaper business, company founder A. H. Belo had been a colonel in the Confederate Army. Soon after the company name change, the University of Texas at Austin renamed the school's Belo Center for New Media to the G. B. Dealey Center for New Media.
