Akron News-Reporter
The Akron News-Reporter is a weekly newspaper published in Akron, Colorado, by Prairie Mountain Publishing (Boulder, Colo.), a subsidiary of MediaNews Group (Denver, Colo.) itself a subsidiary of Digital First Media (New York City). It primarily serves the Town of Akron, the Town of Otis, and Washington County, in the State of Colorado, United States of America. The newspaper is published every Wednesday with a current circulation of about 2000.
About two years before the Town of Akron was incorporated as a statutory town (September 22, 1887), its first newspaper, the Akron Pioneer Press, began publication on November 1, 1885, and was published continuously for 38 years. It is partially digitized (earliest, Dec. 7, 1888) and is available for viewing online at the Colorado Historical Newspapers Collection.
The following table summarizes the early newspapers of Akron.
The original newspaper began publication on October 13, 1910, as the Akron News. The News went through several changes of ownership through February 1929 as summarized in the table below.
Another, rival newspaper, The Akron Reporter, began publication on July 1, 1916. It, too, went through several changes in ownership until February, 1929, though fewer than the News. The changes are summarized in the following table.
On February 28, 1929, Robert B. Cooley merged the Akron Semi-Weekly News and the Akron Reporter. The first issue of the combined papers, the Akron News-Reporter, was published on March 7, 1929. On the front page was news of Herbert Hoover's inauguration and a four-column photo of the new President and Vice President Charles Curtis.
There was a small notice in the lower right corner:
After almost twenty months of ownership of the Akron Reporter the undersigned is transferring the title and ownership of its physical equipment to Mr. R.B. Cooley, formerly of the Otis Independent. Mr. Cooley, having purchased the Akron News, is merging the two newspapers into a single entity under one name. This is a commendable move and should have the whole-hearted support of all the citizens of the community, advertisers and subscribers. —S.M. Johnson
