Indianapolis Journal
The ''Indianapolis Journal'' was a newspaper published in Indianapolis, Indiana, during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The paper published daily editions every evening except on Sundays, when it published a morning edition. The first issue of the then-named ''Indiana Journal'' was published on January 11, 1825, by partners John Douglass and Douglass Maguire.

These positions led the ''Journal'' to align with the Whig Party beginning in the mid-1830s. Purchased in 1845 by John D. Defrees, and operated by him for nearly a decade, the paper was the first in Indianapolis to install a steam driven printing press. Under his leadership, the paper became Indianapolis's first permanent daily, the ''Daily Indiana State Journal'' in April 1851. The title changed to ''Indianapolis Morning Journal'' in 1853, then to ''Indianapo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
