The Dallas Morning News history

Want to know what was going on 100 years ago today? Easy! Here’s the front page of the DMN from July 30, 1915:

In 1926, the Belo family sold a majority interest in the paper to its longtime publisher, George Dealey.

The newspaper printed an editorial about Donald Trump, claiming that he was “not qualified to serve as president,” changing the nature of their political stance as it was the first time since 1964 that the newspaper refused to endorse a Republican candidate.

You do not see any of this in the post-1984 results — the information is still useful, but it’s not as interesting and, maddeningly, not as comprehensive.

I’ve updated the post to be a bit more clear on how to get to DMN articles from 1985 to present-day.

In July 1986, the Times Herald was purchased by William Dean Singleton, owner of MediaNews Group.

What is the best way to find DMN articles from the 1990’s?

On December 8, 1991, Belo bought the Times Herald for $55 million, closing the paper the next day.

For something that appeared around 2000, you might need to contact the DMN directly or check with the Dallas/Texas history department of the downtown Dallas Public Library.

In 2003, a Spanish-language newspaper was launched by The Dallas Morning News, called Al Día.

In late 2013, The Dallas Morning News ended its longtime newsgathering collaboration with previously-co-owned TV station WFAA. The newspaper entered into a new partnership with KXAS at that time.

July 31, 2015 at 6:52 PM totally agree with you. the DMN has a social responsibility to do just that.

In late 2016 it was announced that The Dallas Morning News would move away from its home of 68 years on Young Street, to a building on Commerce Street previously used by the Dallas Public Library for its downtown branch.

The former property at 508 Young was sold by October 2018 to a business partnership, which was looking into possible redevelopment opportunities for the complex, but in December 2018 the partnership backed out of the deal.

Changes were announced in January 2019 which included staff layoffs (including editorial, arts/culture, and business) and reducing the paper's Business section to one separate section per week, on Sunday; the remainder of the week, Business coverage would be found in the paper's Metro section.
