The paper started publishing in May 1896 as a weekly called ''The Miami Metropolis''. The ''Metropolis'' had become a daily (except Sunday) paper of eight pages by 1903. On June 4, 1923, former Ohio governor James M. Cox bought the ''Metropolis'' and renamed it the ''Miami Daily News-Metropolis''. On January 4, 1925 the newspaper became the ''Miami Daily News'', and published its first Sunday edition. Cox had a new building erected for the newspaper, and the Miami News Tower was dedicated on July 25, 1925. This building later became famous as the Freedom Tower. Also on July 25, 1925, the ''News'' published a 508 page edition, which still holds the record for the largest page-count for a newspaper. The ''News'' was edited by Bill Baggs from 1957 until his death 1969. After that, it was edited by Sylvan Meyer ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
