History

The ''Press-Citizen'' was formed in 1920 after the merger of two newspapers: the Democratic ''Iowa State Press'', founded in 1860, and the Republican ''Iowa City Citizen'', founded in 1891. Merritt Spiedel bought the ''Press-Citizen'' in 1921; Spiedel's company merged with the Gannett Company in 1977.
The ''Press-Citizen'' switched from afternoon to morning publication on September 15, 1997. On August 29, 1999, the ''Press-Citizen'' began publishing a Sunday edition that includes local news and sports sections packaged with the Sunday state edition of another Gannett newspaper, ''The Des Moines Register''.^[2]
