History [edit]

The Dallas Forenoon News main printing plant and distribution heart in Plano, Texas

The Dallas Morning News was founded in 1885 as a spin-off of the Galveston Daily News by Alfred Horatio Belo. In 1926, the Belo family unit sold a majority interest in the newspaper to its longtime publisher, George Dealey. By the 1920s, the Dallas Morning News had grown larger than the Galveston Daily News and become a progressive force in Dallas and Texas.^[3] Adolph Ochs, who saved the New York Times from defalcation in 1896 and fabricated the paper into ane of the country's nigh respected, said in 1924 that he had been strongly influenced by the Dallas Morning News.^[3]

During the 1920s, when the Ku Klux Klan was a powerful forcefulness in Dallas, the Dallas Morning News pushed back against the KKK with its news coverage and editorials.^[3] In plough, the KKK, which had a membership that included one in three eligible Dallas men, threatened to cold-shoulder the paper.^[3]

In 1904, The Dallas Morning News began publishing the Texas Almanac, which had previously been published intermittently during the 1800s past the Galveston Daily News. After over a century of publishing by the Forenoon News, the Annual's avails were gifted to the Texas Country Historical Association in May 2008.^[6]

Building previously used and occupied by The Dallas Morning News

Past the late 1940s, the Morning News had built and opened a new part, newsroom, and press plant at Houston and Immature Streets on the southwest side of downtown Dallas. A notable role of the facade above the front doors includes a quote etched in the stony outside:

BUILD THE NEWS UPON
THE Rock OF TRUTH
AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
CONDUCT Information technology ALWAYS
UPON THE LINES OF
FAIRNESS AND INTEGRITY
ACKNOWLEDGE THE RIGHT
OF THE PEOPLE TO GET
FROM THE Newspaper
BOTH SIDES OF EVERY
IMPORTANT QUESTION

The circuitous at 508 Young Street would house all or part of the Morning time News operations for the side by side vi decades.

In late 1991, The Dallas Morning time News became the lone major newspaper in the Dallas market when the Dallas Times Herald was closed subsequently several years of circulation wars between the two papers, peculiarly over the so-burgeoning classified advertizing market. In July 1986, the Times Herald was purchased by William Dean Singleton, owner of MediaNews Group. After eighteen months of efforts to turn the paper around, Singleton sold it to an associate. On December 8, 1991, Belo bought the Times Herald for $55 meg, closing the paper the next day.

It was non the first time the Belo family unit had bought (and airtight) a newspaper named The Herald in Dallas.

[In]...1879 Alfred H. Belo was investigating the possibility of establishing a sister paper in rapidly developing North Texas. When Belo's efforts to purchase the Herald [an extant paper in Dallas] failed, he sent George Bannerman Dealey to launch a new newspaper, the Morning News, which began publication on Oct 1, 1885. From the outset the Morning News enjoyed the double advantage of strong financial support and an aggregating of journalistic experience, and within a month and a one-half had absorbed its older rival.^{[7] [8]}

In 2003, a Spanish-language newspaper was launched by The Dallas Morn News, chosen Al Día. Initially Al Día came with a purchase price, but in recent years the newspaper has been fabricated bachelor free of charge. It is published twice a week, on Wednesday and Saturday.^[ix]

Between 2003 and 2011, a tabloid-sized publication called Quick was published past The Dallas Morning time News, which initially focused on general news in a quick-read, digest form, but in later years covered mostly entertainment and lifestyle stories.

In late 2013, The Dallas Morning News ended its longtime newsgathering collaboration with previously-co-endemic Tv set station WFAA. The newspaper entered into a new partnership with KXAS at that fourth dimension.^[10]

Historically, the Morning News' stance section has tilted conservative, mirroring Texas′ drift to the Republican Political party since the 1950s.^[xi] However, on September seven, 2016 it endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, the commencement time information technology had recommended a Democrat for president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940.^[12] This came a day later it ran a scathing editorial declaring Republican candidate Donald Trump "not qualified to serve equally president." It was the outset fourth dimension that the newspaper had refused to recommend a Republican since 1964.^[13] Then, in wake of the budgeted 2018 midterm elections, the Morning News again endorsed a Autonomous candidate: Beto O'Rourke, the challenger to incumbent Senator Ted Cruz.^[14]

In late 2016, information technology was announced that The Dallas Morning time News would move away from its home of 68 years on Young Street, to a edifice on Commerce Street previously used by the Dallas Public Library for its downtown co-operative. The Commerce Street accost is one-tertiary the size of the Young Street complex. Reasons given for the motion included technology innovations, fewer staff, as well as press presses no longer co-located with the newsroom and master offices (printing is done now mainly at a facility in Plano, north of Dallas).^{[fifteen] [sixteen]} By December 2017, the move was completed.^[17] The sometime property at 508 Young was sold by October 2018 to a business partnership, which was looking into possible redevelopment opportunities for the circuitous,^{[18] [19]} but in December 2018 the partnership backed out of the deal.^[20]

Changes were announced in January 2019 which included staff layoffs (including editorial, arts/culture, and business concern) and reducing the newspaper's Business section to one dissever section per week, on Sunday; the remainder of the week, Business organization coverage would be found in the paper's Metro department. A total of 43 employees were affected past the motion.^{[21] [22]}

In late February 2019, several printing agreements were not renewed at the Morning News suburban printing plant, and 92 positions were affected by the alter there. Publications that had to find a different printing partner included Dallas Observer and Fort Worth Weekly.^[23]
