AMARILLO GLOBE-NEWS

'''Amarillo Globe-News''' is a newspaper from Amarillo, Texas. It is owned by the Morris Communications Company.
The current day ''Globe-News'' is a combination of several newspapers published in Amarillo. ''The Amarillo Daily News'' was first published on November 4, 1909 as a prohibition newspaper by Baptist deacon, Dr. J.E. Nunn. In 1926, Eugene A. Howe and Wilbur Clayton Hawk bought the ''Amarillo Daily News'' and merged it with their ''Globe'' newspaper to form the ''Amarillo Globe-News'' Publishing Company.
The ''Amarillo Times'' started on December 15, 1937 as an afternoon tabloid. On December 2, 1951, the ''Globe-News'' and ''Times'' were merged into one company with the majority of the stock owned by the ''Times' '' Whittenburg family. ''The Daily News'' would continue as the morning newspaper, while the ''Globe-News'' and ''Times'' were merged into the afternoon ''Globe-Times''. The ''Amarillo Globe-Times'' won the 1961 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. The ''Globe-News'' also purchased radio stations, WDAG and KRGS to form KGNC, and NBC station KGNC-TV (now KAMR). On September 1, 1972, Morris Communications acquired the ''Amarillo Globe-News''.
In 2001, the ''Globe-News'' decided to merge their two newspapers into one morning edition.
Nelson Clyde, III, publisher of the ''Tyler Morning Telegraph'' from 1990 until his death in 2007, worked at the Globe-News from 1966-1968.
