History
The Morning Press was founded by William J. Sproat and appeared on Monday,
September 1,
1890. Mr. Sproat was its
proprietor until
November 5,
1891, when control passed to the Press Publishing company. Soon after, the controlling interest in the company was purchased by George G. Booth, who in
1892 bought the Eagle and merged it with the
Press.
January 1,
1893, the
Press went into the evening daily field, which it has since occupied.
This newspaper at first was published at 63 Pearl Street. Then for a number of years it occupied a building on the
Grand River at the southeast end of the Pearl Street bridge. In 1906 it moved to a new home at Fulton Street and Sheldon Avenue.
The paper was published downtown at the corner of Monroe and Michigan until 2004 when the printing facility was moved to the northern suburb of
Walker. The editorial and newsroom offices remain downtown. They actively hire aspiring journalists through an intensive internship program.
