The Tulsa World is a daily newspaper from Tulsa , Oklahoma . Since it was founded in 1905, it has established itself as one of the largest media outlets in the state.
content
An issue of Tulsa World features news, sports, business, entertainment, and opinion articles.
history
On September 14, 1905, the first edition of the Tulsa Daily World was published and offered at a price of five cents. The newspaper changed hands several times before the editor Eugene Lorton acquired the rights to the paper in 1917. The Lorton family remained their publisher for nearly a century before being acquired by billionaire Warren Buffett in 2013, when it was owned by BH Media Group, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway .
The newspaper was co-founded and continued by a Republican . In the 1920s, however, it broke when it was a strong opposition to the Ku Klux Klan and turned to the Democratic Party . The editor Eugene Lorton supported the progressive candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 and 1936 presidential elections .
The name of the newspaper has been changed several times over the years. The Tulsa Daily World became Morning Tulsa Daily World in 1919 , before the change was reversed in 1927. The paper has been published as Tulsa World since 1977.
Economic development
The daily circulation of Tulsa World was around 95,000 copies in June 2013, while the Sunday edition was printed around 131,000 times. This placed it in a nationwide comparison of daily newspapers in 71st place. In recent years, the circulation has fallen sharply, so at the beginning of the 21st century it was 160,000 to 220,000 copies. In Oklahoma it is the second largest newspaper after The Oklahoman from Oklahoma City . It has been Tulsa's only daily newspaper since 1992 after the Tulsa Tribune shut down.
Tulsa World currently (as of April 2012) has over 500 employees.
Alignment
For the very conservative state of Oklahoma, but especially in comparison to the competing newspaper The Oklahoman , Tulsa World is considered quite progressive and can be assigned to the political center. Both liberal and conservative comments can be found. Declines in sales are therefore attributed, among other things, to the fact that the newspaper does not reach the conservative and Christian society of Oklahoma.
distribution
In addition to traditional distribution as a print medium, Tulsa World is also present in the new media. She has been on Facebook and Twitter since March and May 2008 respectively. A digital edition is also offered, which is an alternative for users of computers, tablets or smartphones. There is also an app. The current print edition costs one dollar.
