The Goshen News

The Goshen News is a five-day, Monday and Wednesday through Saturday daily newspaper serving Goshen, Indiana, and adjacent portions of Elkhart, Kosciusko, Noble, LaGrange and Marshall Counties in Indiana. The paper publishes Monday and Wednesday through Friday with a Saturday Weekend edition. It is owned by CNHI.

Goshen's first newspaper was published 187 years ago on January 28, 1837, under the front-page banner of The Goshen Express. In September 1837, Ebenezer Brown founded a second newspaper in Goshen, The Goshen Democrat, which was the forerunner for The Goshen News.

A third Goshen newspaper, The Goshen Times, was established in 1855 by C.W. Stevens and E.W. Metcalf. It consisted of four pages published on Thursdays. An annual subscription cost $2.

The Times later became a primary source of Civil War information for Goshen residents, providing battle reports from colonels and Indiana regiments.

The Goshen Independent was founded in 1875 and was later renamed The Independent, the Goshen Weekly News and finally, in 1896, The Goshen Daily News when it then became a Republican newspaper. The corporate owner of the paper was The News Printing Company, which was formed in 1892.

In 1897, The Goshen Democrat became a daily newspaper, but also maintained a weekly edition for it rural subscribers.

Shortly after the turn of the century, News Printing Company owner George W. Kinnison purchased The Goshen Times and merged it with The Goshen Daily News, creating The Goshen News-Times.

The News-Times and The Goshen Democrat competed against each other for more than 30 years before merging on July 1, 1933, and becoming The Goshen News-Times and Democrat. The name was shortened a few years later to The Goshen News-Democrat.
