The Lawrence Journal-World is a daily newspaper published in Lawrence, Kansas, United States, by Ogden Newspapers. Though the Journal-World title came into existence in 1911, the paper dates itself to 1858, according to the volume number of the current masthead of the paper. In 1891, Wilford Collins Simons moved to Lawrence and took over operations of the Lawrence Record under a three-month lease. The Lawrence World was first issued by Simons on March 2, 1892. In 1905, the World acquired the Lawrence Journal, and merged the Journal and World in 1911 after a fire destroyed the offices of the Journal. The Lawrence Daily Journal title dates back to 1880, but was a continuation of the Republican Daily Journal which dates back to at least 1869. The Republican Daily Journal appears to have been the successor via sale and/or consolidation of earlier Lawrence newspapers. One of those papers dated to 1858; for years, the Journal-World claimed an 1858 founding date. More information...
