The Patriot-News
''The Patriot-News'' was the largest daily newspaper serving the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania metropolitan area. In 2005, the newspaper was ranked in the top 100 in daily/Sunday circulation in the United States. It has been owned by Advance Publications since 1947. On August 28, 2012, the paper's publisher announced that it would shift to a three-day publication schedule beginning Jan. 1, 2013. This follows similar moves at other Advance-owned publications. It is now published Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Also, as of May 4, 2015, the ''Lancaster News'' paper, a 7 day publication, is now printed in the same facility as the ''Patriot-News''.
==History==
''The Patriot-News'' officially traces its history to March 4, 1854, with the founding of ''The Daily Patriot''. Its heritage dates back, however, to December 1820, involving a weekly newspaper named ''The Pennsylvania Intelligencer''. In 1855, the ''Patriot'' bought the ''Democratic Union'', successor of the ''Intelligencer,'' and merged them into ''The Patriot and Union.'' It was a weekly paper, but published three days a week when the legislature was in session. It became a daily publication again in 1868 as ''The Morning Patriot'', changing its name to the ''Harrisburg Daily Patriot'' in 1875 and dropping Harrisburg from its masthead in 1890. The other half of the paper began in 1917 as ''The Evening News.'' In 1947, both papers were bought by Edwin Russell, with financial backing from the Newhouse chain, forerunner of Advance Publications. Later that year, the Newhouse chain assumed majority ownership, though Russell remained as the papers' driving force until his death in 2001. In 1996, the ''Patriot'' and ''Evening News'' merged into a single morning paper, ''The Patriot-News''.
For many years, ''The Patriot-News'' was infamous for an editorial printed by its predecessor, ''The Patriot and Union'', on November 24, 1863; in which it dismissed the Gettysburg Address as "silly remarks" that should disappear into "a veil of oblivion." On November 14, 2013, ''The Patriot-News'' issued a retraction, saying the ''Patriot and Union'' editorial board failed to recognize the "momentous importance, timeless eloquence, and lasting significance" of the Gettysburg Address.
From 1953 to 1980, ''The Patriot'' and ''The Evening News'' were operated alongside South Central Pennsylvania's ABC affiliate, WTPA; that station was sold to Times Mirror with the rest of the Newhouse television division in 1980 and is now WHTM-TV, owned by Media General.
