The Detroit News
On August 23, 1873, James E. Scripps began publishing the Evening News, one of the first popular, low-priced evening newspapers in Michigan. The News specialized in short, local, human interest stories. Resolutely independent, it has continuously championed political and business reform. In 1917 the enterprise moved to this building designed by Albert Kahn. By its centenary, the Detroit News had attained the largest evening circulation in America.
