General Info

The Dayton Daily News has served as the nucleus of a modern media empire that spans from newspapers to cable television to the Internet. The paper's association with Cox Enterprises began on August 15, 1892, when James M. Cox purchased the Dayton Evening Journal. One week later, on August 22, he renamed it the Dayton Daily News. The newspaper's editorial position is generally Democratic, befitting both its Democratic hometown and the person who gave the paper its current name. The Dayton Daily News is owned by Cox Enterprises. The Dayton Daily News is headquartered in Dayton, Ohio.
