History

The Macon News was founded in 1884 and operated until September 2, 1983.^[1]^[2] The paper was printed Monday to Saturday under the initial ownership of brothers Jerome B. Pound and Eugene Pound.^[1] Subscription to the newspaper was US$5, half that of the rival paper The Macon Telegraph.^[1] The Macon News was printed and distributed in the evening.^[1]

The paper increased its page size in 1885 and operated from offices on Cherry Street, Macon.^[1]

In 1930, The Macon Telegraph owners brothers William T. and Peyton T. Anderson bought The Macon News^[3] for $200,000.^[4] They combined some staff roles, but kept both papers operating.^[3]

The paper's 1983 closure was a result of declining readership.^[5] Barbara Stinson was the managing editor at the time of the paper's closure; Ed Olson was the publisher and Billy Watson was the General Manager. The executive editor was Richard Thomas.^[2] After its closure, the paper merged with The Macon Telegraph.^[1]
