History
The Deseret News was first published on June 15, 1850. Events 763 BC - Assyrians record a Solar eclipse that will be used to fix the Chronology of Mesopotamian history For the game see 1850 (board game. 1850 ( MDCCCL) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link It was named Deseret News because it was the voice of the then State of Deseret. The State of Deseret was a provisional state of the United States, proposed in 1849 by Mormon settlers in Salt Lake City.
Originally a weekly paper, the Deseret News became a semi-weekly in October, 1865 and was named the Deseret Evening News. That title was dropped in 1920. The paper began publishing as an afternoon daily in 1922 and included its first Sunday edition.
After World War II, the Deseret News, The Salt Lake Tribune and the Salt Lake Telegram were all struggling financially, but no more than the Deseret News. In 1952 the owners of the News (LDS Church) and Tribune (Kearns Family) entered into a joint operating agreement (JOA), where each published separate editorial material while sharing printing, advertising and circulation costs. The Newspaper Preservation Act of 1970 was an Act of the United States Congress, signed by President Richard Nixon, that authorized the formation This JOA was the brainchild of Tribune Publisher John F. Fitzpatrick who helped LDS President David McKay ensure the continuation of the Deseret News. As the architect of the NAC, Fitzpatrick knew that this arrangement would also be beneficial to the Tribune. The News stopped Sunday publication for several years; subscribers received a Sunday Tribune instead. The Deseret News also purchased the afternoon Salt Lake Telegram from the Tribune. The Telegram was discontinued, and into the mid-1960s, the afternoon paper's nameplate read: The Deseret News and Salt Lake Telegram.
Deseret News reporter Robert Mullins won a Pulitzer Prize in 1962 for local reporting "for his resourceful coverage of a murder and kidnapping at Dead Horse Point, Utah. The Pulitzer Prize, ˈpʊlɨtsɚ PULL-it-sər is an American award regarded as the highest national honor in Newspaper journalism, Dead Horse Point State Park is a Utah state park adjacent to Canyonlands National Park, featuring a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River. "
The newspaper moved into its newly constructed headquarters in downtown Salt Lake City in 1997. Downtown Salt Lake City is the oldest district
In the early 2000s, the Deseret News engaged in a contentious and often public battle with The Salt Lake Tribune. The dispute centered around the terms of their joint operating agreement, the desire of the Deseret News to switch from afternoon to morning publication, and ownership changes at the Tribune. The battle was resolved with the sale of the Tribune and with the News switching to morning publication and changing its name to the Deseret Morning News.
Managing Editor John Hughes retired on December 31, 2006[5] and was replaced by Joseph A. Cannon.
On April 13, 2008, Joseph A. Cannon announced in a front page editor's note that the name of the newspaper has been changed back to the Deseret News. [6]
