The Green Bay Press-Gazette is a newspaper whose primary coverage is of northeastern Wisconsin, including Green Bay. The Green Bay Gazette was founded in 1866 as a weekly paper, becoming a daily newspaper in 1871. It merged with its major competitor, the Green Bay Free Press in 1915. The newspaper was purchased by Gannett in March 1980.[1] Its circulation is 57,675 for the daily morning paper, and 83,166 for the Sunday edition.[1]
In 1972, an internal labor dispute led to the creation of the Green Bay News-Chronicle by striking workers. In 2004, the News-Chronicle was taken over by Press-Gazette publisher Gannett, who closed it in 2005.
Its sports section includes extensive coverage of the the local NFL franchise, the Green Bay Packers.
