Press-Register
The ''Press-Register'' (known from 1997 to 2006 as the ''Mobile Register'') is a thrice-weekly newspaper serving the southwest Alabama counties of Mobile and Baldwin. The newspaper is a descendant of one founded in 1813, making the ''Press-Register'' Alabama's oldest newspaper. It is owned by Advance Publications, which also owns the primary newspapers in Birmingham, Alabama, Huntsville, Alabama and New Orleans, Louisiana. The ''Press-Register'' had a daily publication schedule since the inception of its predecessors in the early 1800s until September 30, 2012, at which time it and its sister papers reduced to print editions only on Wednesday, Fridays and Sundays. The ''Press Register'' also publishes an edition for the Mississippi Gulf Coast, ''The Mississippi Press''.
==Nineteenth century==
''The Mobile Gazette'' was founded and began publication shortly after Mobile was captured by United States troops in April 1813 after 33 years under Spanish rule. Another Mobile-based newspaper would begin publishing on December 10, 1821 as ''The Mobile Commercial Register'' by former Boston, Massachusetts resident and Savannah, Georgia merchant Jonathan Battelle, along with John W. Townsend of a Montgomery, Alabama newspaper. One year later, the ''Gazette'' was taken over by the ''Register'', making it a good purchase for one Thaddeus Sanford in 1828. Under Sanford, the ''Mobile Patriot'' newspaper was bought out, thus becoming part of the daily ''Mobile Daily Commercial Register and Patriot'' in 1832. The ''Register'' is sold yet again in 1837, this time to Epapheas Kibby and Mobile attorney John Forsyth Jr., who would have a 40-year relationship with the paper until his death in 1877. The ''New York Times''' eulogy for Forsyth included the phrase, "most important Democratic editor of the South". Mobile's yellow fever epidemic forced the ''Register'' to publish only three times a week in 1839. Once Sanford reclaimed what he purchased years before, he combined the ''Register'' with the ''Merchants and Planters Journal'', resulting in ''The Mobile Register and Journal'' in 1841. Communication's latest innovation the telegraph became the ''Register'''s means of receiving news in 1848. After C.A. and C.M. Bradford's purchase of the ''Register'''s one-half interest, the paper was renamed ''The Mobile Daily Register'' in 1849. Forsyth once again bought back the ''Register'' in 1854. Future Confederate colonel and Kentucky poet Theodore O'Hara joined the ''Register'' shortly before the American Civil War. Swiss-born propagandist for the Confederacy Henry Hotze also worked for the paper for a time before the war.
It would take the conflict beginning in 1861 to combine the ''Mobile Daily Register'' and competitor ''The Mobile Daily Advertiser'' to form ''The Mobile Daily Advertiser and Register''. About three years after the war, the ''Register'' was sold and combined again, this time to William d'Alton Mann of ''The Mobile Times'' and ''The Mobile Daily Register''. Isaac Donovan's arrival as the ''Register'''s new owner in 1871 marked the beginning of a new era for the stable newspaper, including a new position for editor Charles Carter Langdon. Langdon would become the ''Register'''s agricultural editor, giving him the opportunity to promote scientific approaches in the field. In life, Langdon served as mayor of Mobile, an Alabama state legislator, and a trustee of the Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical College in Auburn. Today Langdon's contributions to what would be Auburn University are honored at the hall named for him in 1846. In 1872, the ''Register'' incorporates as The Register Printing association. During John Forsyth, Jr.'s final years, he, along with John L. Rapier formed a partnership to operate the ''Register''. After Forsyth's death, Rapier became principal owner. Telephones would become available at the ''Register'' in 1883, along with electric light a year later. Rapier organized the stock company The Register Co. to publish the paper in 1889. Erwin S. Craighead, who would later be known as "Mobile's newspaperman" began his long career at the ''Register'' as the city editor in 1884 before earning the position of editor in chief in 1892.
Throughout Craighead's tenure until retirement in 1927, he was supportive of the former Confederacy and the Union reconciling, along with economic and commercial development. As the 19th century was coming to a close, the ''Register'' began using six Linotype typesetting machines in 1893, which were used for many decades until the "cold type" age began in 1974. Photographs began appearing in the ''Register'' during the 1890s.
