Springfield's daily newspaper has been serving residents of Clark and Champaign counties since 1817. The newspaper's lineage can be traced back to the first publication in Clark County called "The Farmer". Over the 1800s and 1900s the name would change several times. "The Springfield Daily Democrat" merged with "The Press Republic" in 1905 eventually becoming "The Springfield Daily News"; "The Springfield Daily News" and "The Sun" publications merged in 1982 to form the current name "Springfield News-Sun", making this one  of the longest continuously-running newspaper publications in the region. In late 2010, Cox Enterprises merged all of its local media holdings under the CMG Ohio brand and consolidated locations to the Cox Media Group Ohio Media Center in Dayton. In addition to its print publications, holdings include broadcast media WHIO-TV, MeTV WHIO Classic Television and radio stations WHIO (AM)-FM, K99.1FM WHKO, and WZLR The Eagle.
