The "Iowa City Press-Citizen" is a daily newspaper published in Iowa City, Iowa, that serves most of Johnson County and portions of surrounding counties. Its primary competitors are "The Gazette" of Cedar Rapids, which has a news bureau in Iowa City, and "The Daily Iowan", the University of Iowa's student newspaper.

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".
