History

First published in 1882 as a weekly news and price paper and never having missed a scheduled publication date, ''American Metal Market'' is considered the longest continuously published newspaper in the industry. In April 2002, the daily publication switched from a traditional, hard-copy newspaper to a strictly electronic format, in which form it remains today.
