Thief River Falls Times

The "Thief River Falls Times" is a weekly news publication based in Thief River Falls, MN, in which the paper is the civic reporter designated to act in the public interest.

History

The first newspaper to be published in Thief River Falls was The Press in 1889. The second paper, The News, began publication in 1893. Yet another paper, The Review, began operations in 1904. In 1905, The Review and The Press merged and in 1912, the News and Press merged to form News-Press. In 1911, the Thief River Falls Times was formed with the intent on taking over the two papers. In 1917, the Times succeeded in purchasing News-Press and began publishing papers under Thief River Falls Times.

By late summer of 1923, The Times suffered two fires, both wiping out their publishing facilities. The Times, after the second fire, was being printed at The Tribune, another newspaper at the time. Tensions rose between the two papers and costs of the last fire resulted in a front page plea to subscribers to help pay for costs of rebuilding. The Times was sold to the owners of the Warren Sheaf later that year who printed The Times for a short time after the fire.

In 1927, the Times was consolidated with rival paper, The Tribune. Former owner of the Tribune, William Dahlquist, stayed on as editor and part owner of The Times.

In 1965, The Times moved to its current location on Main Avenue North. The Times published semi-weekly papers and printed other area papers now owned by Page 1 Publications.

After publishing two papers a week since for 22 years, The Times renamed one of the weekly publications the Northern Watch which publishes on Saturdays. [ [http://www.trftimes.com/trftimes/Times-History/index.html Untitled Article ] ]
