The Alpena News is a general daily newspaper in the city of Alpena, Michigan in the United States.[3] It is published by Ogden Newspapers Inc. News reports are available on line.[4] The paper was founded in 1899.[1][5][A] The paper currently has between 20 and 50 employees.[6]
On August 1, 1899, E.S. Meers began publishing The Alpena Evening News. It was renamed as The Alpena News in 1914.[5]
In its early years it was edited by James Collins, a fiery and opinionated Irishman, who continued as editor until 1909 when he then edited the Alpena Argus-Pioneer.[8]
Alpena had many papers initially. There have been at least a dozen papers (some are name changes) over the years.[5] In 1900, there were two dailies, the Echo and the News; and three weeklies, Alpena Weekly Argus, Farmer and Pioneer. The News was left as the sole survivor by 1918.[9]
^Another source erroneously claims the founding was in 1909.[6] In fact, that was the year that The Alpena News was incorporated by James Collins, W. R. Roberson and Thomas J. Ferguson.[7]
