The Lansing State Journal is a daily newspaper published in Lansing, Michigan owned by Gannett. Their press is also used to publish USA Today for distribution in the Midwestern states.
[edit] History
The paper was started as the Lansing Republican on April 28, 1855. Founder and publisher Henry Beard completed only two issues of the weekly abolitionist publication before selling it and returning to Detroit.
Over the next 50 years, the paper saw many name changes and many different owners, finally merging with another newspaper and becoming the State Journal in 1911.
Gannett bought the paper in 1971, and it became the Lansing State Journal on August 25, 1980. Its current circulation is 71,945 morning; 91,175 Sunday.
