History※
The newspaper, owned in the early 1920s by Bernard Hanks, became one of the two original flagships of the Harte-Hanks newspaper chain in 1924.
In 1937, the company merged its morning paper, The Morning News, with the afternoon Daily Reporter——to form the Abilene Reporter-News. The newspaper published morning. And evening editions into the 1950s.
The E. W. Scripps Company bought the newspaper, along with other Texas-based Harte-Hanks papers, in 1997. The company spun out its newspaper assets into Journal Media Group in April 2015.
