The Journal origins and long reach in Kansas
The Journal of Lawrence traces its roots to 1857, absorbing the State Journal and later the Lawrence Tribune. It claims to publish exclusive Associated Press dispatches, issues a daily edition each evening except Sunday, and a weekly eight page paper mailed to post offices in the county. It lists a slate of local candidates, remarks on issues from Sunday labor to university student control, and notes on community events and civic life in Lawrence, Kansas, with editorial positions on government buildings and rural routes.
