Norfolk Daily News is a daily newspaper located in downtown Norfolk, Nebraska, and is one of just a handful of daily newspapers owned and managed by an individual family. Kent Warneke serves as editor of the Norfolk Daily News.[1]

History

The Huse family, including publisher Jerry Huse, has owned and managed the Norfolk Daily News since 1887. Four generations of the Huse family have run the Norfolk Daily News; a fifth generation is involved in management. Jerry Huse became publisher in 1956 when he was 29, becoming the youngest publisher of a daily newspaper in Nebraska. He remains publisher today.[2]

The Norfolk Daily News began as a daily newspaper May 1, 1887, and was bought by the Huse Family in 1888 when its circulation was 400. William Huse, who had started the first newspaper in northern Nebraska at Ponca in 1871, purchased the paper with his son W. N. Huse, who moved to Norfolk to manage it. The latter was publisher until his death in 1913. He was succeeded by his son, Gene Huse, publisher until 1956 and president of the Huse Publishing Company until his death in 1961. Gene Huse founded Radio Station WJAG, which received its first government license July 26, 1922.

Jerry Huse, Gene’s son, is the fourth generation of his family to publish the News. He started fulltime with the company in 1950 and became the publisher in 1956 and president in 1961. He founded what is now Norfolk Printing Company in 1955 which was sold in 1973. He built WJAG’s present home in 1956 and personally laid out the present plant of the News, built in 1963. The plant was converted to offset printing in 1972. A new addition to the plant was added in 1990.

Other Media

WJAG was founded by the publisher of the Norfolk Daily News. The station's original slogan was "The Voice of the Norfolk Daily News." The newspaper's city editor in 1922, Karl Stefan, anchored the station's first news report and served as chief announcer until his election to Congress in 1935. Other media connected to the corporation include radio stations 106Kix, Lite Rock 97, Norfolk Area Shopper and Albion Shopper.
