The Dallas Morning News is a daily newspaper in Texas that serves the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with a print circulation of 65,369. Alfred Horatio Belo founded it on October 1, 1885, as a satellite publication of the Galveston Daily News in Galveston, Texas. It is the most prominent newspaper in Dallas, both historically and currently.
It now has one of the top 20 paid circulations in the United States. Throughout the 1990s and until 2010, the paper won nine Pulitzer Prizes for reporting and photography, as well as George Polk Awards for education reporting and regional reporting and an Overseas Press Club award for photography. The company’s headquarters are in downtown Dallas.
Alfred Horatio Belo founded the Dallas Morning News in 1885 as a spin-off of the Galveston Daily News. The Belo family sold a majority stake in the paper to its longtime publisher, George Dealey, in 1926. By the 1920s, the Dallas Morning News had outgrown the Galveston Daily News and had established itself as a progressive force in Dallas and Texas. Adolph Ochs, who saved the New York Times from bankruptcy in 1896 and turned it into one of the most respected newspapers in the country, stated in 1924 that the Dallas Morning News had had a strong influence on him.
During the 1920s, when the Ku Klux Klan was a powerful force in Dallas, the Dallas Morning News used its news coverage and editorials to oppose the KKK. In response, the KKK, whose membership included one out of every three eligible Dallas men, threatened to boycott the newspaper.
The Dallas Morning News began publishing the Texas Almanac in 1904 after the Galveston Daily News had published it intermittently throughout the 1800s. After more than a century of publication by the Morning News, the assets of the Almanac were donated to the Texas State Historical Association in May 2008.
For the next six decades, the complex at 508 Young Street would house all or part of the Morning News operations. When the Dallas Times Herald was closed in late 1991, The Dallas Morning News became the lone major newspaper in the Dallas market after several years of circulation wars between the two papers, particularly over the then-burgeoning classified advertising market. The Times Herald was purchased by William Dean Singleton, owner of MediaNews Group, in July 1986. Singleton sold the paper to an associate after 18 months of hard work. Belo Corporation purchased the Times Herald for $55 million on December 8, 1991, and closed the paper the next day. It was not the first time the Belo family had bought (and closed) a paper named The Herald in Dallas.
The Dallas Morning News launched Al Da, a Spanish-language newspaper, in 2003. Initially, Al Da was sold for a fee, but in recent years, the newspaper has been made available for free. It comes out twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The Dallas Morning News published a tabloid-sized publication called Quick between 2003 and 2011, which initially focused on general news in a quick-read, digest format, but later covered mostly entertainment and lifestyle stories.
The Dallas Morning News ended its long-running newsgathering partnership with previously co-owned TV station WFAA in late 2013. At the time, the newspaper formed a new partnership with KXAS. In front of a restaurant in northeast Dallas, a newspaper vending machine sells copies of The Dallas Morning News.
The Morning News opinion section has historically been conservative, mirroring Texasâ² shift to the Republican Party since the 1950s. It did, however, endorse Hillary Clinton for president on September 7, 2016, the first time it had done so since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940. This came just one day after it published an editorial declaring Republican candidate Donald Trump “unqualified to serve as president.” It was the first time the paper had refused to endorse a Republican candidate since 1964. The Morning News then endorsed a Democratic candidate, Beto O’Rourke, who was challenging incumbent Senator Ted Cruz in the 2018 midterm elections.
The Dallas Morning News announced in late 2016 that it would relocate from its 68-year home on Young Street to a building on Commerce Street previously used by the Dallas Public Library for its downtown branch. The Young Street complex is one-third the size of the Commerce Street complex.
