The Daily World

"The Daily World" is the leading daily newspaper in Aberdeen, Washington, United States. Serving Grays Harbor County and northern Pacific County counties since 1889, The Daily World is the only daily newspaper on the coast of Washington state.

The newspaper is owned by the Stephens Media Group based in Las Vegas.

The newspaper made its debut as the Aberdeen Weekly Bulletin on July 31, 1889, almost three months ahead of statehood.

In 1908, it was sold to Werner Andrew Rupp, a political reporter and editorial writer, and John F. Gilbert, a gifted cartoonist. The first edition appeared on Monday, June 1, 1908. They called it The Aberdeen Daily World for the first time on Jan. 18, 1909. When Gilbert departed on Jan. 4, 1910, Rupp became the sole proprietor, editor and publisher and was in control for the next 53 years. On March 2, 1969, it became The Daily World. The newspaper changed hands a few more times after that, but was purchased by the Stephens Media Group in 1993.
